What needs to be defined? I am mystified here. Look, you can't bring back the dead, so the only way for a murderer to improve is to try to behave morally in the future. That's my position.
From the above I'd say you need to define - or for starters just include - justice in your analysis. I'm mystified that you think a murderer just needs to try to behave morally in the future. Most people (atheists included) aren't going to be satisfied with that.
