Retribution is basically the need of punishing the criminal because of the harm he has caused to others. Deterrence is a kind of correction through which a kind of example is being set for the public which will discourage the criminals to commit any crimes. Incapacitation is almost like deterrence but this directly works as a prevention of the crime by restricting the potential criminal. Rehabilitation is like restoring. This process tries to restore the previous state an offender through some kinds of therapies.
