It could be incapacitation. Incapacitation and deterrence are both “affecting the other’s behavior” in a sense, but the examples in the OP suggest you mean deterrence. (Meanwhile, PeteG’s sibling comment seems to only be considering ‘affecting behavior’ to mean incapacitation.)
(… maybe you’re reserving “punishment” to mean only deterrence and so saying, if A punishes B by killing them that’s by definition done to affect B’s behavior? I don’t understand what’s going on in this thread.)
Like I said, some people would punish by killing not to affect the behavior of the punished (neither to deter nor to incapacitate), but because they would see it as the morally right thing to do, given the crime.
Zack, you are mistaken about highlighting Nick’s sentence as “hitting the mark”.
