Reinforcement can be negative (punishment) or positive. If you do something wrong and get punished for it (ie. negative reinforcement), are you really going to want to do it again?

Reinforcement [ negative or positive ] give you something.
Punishment takes something away.

reinforcement encourages behavior, and punishment discourages behavior.
