Screw. That.
To an extent, yes. However, rehabilitation /= no justice, I believe rehabilitation should be the force driving justice, not revenge.

If we wish to reduce violent crime in society, we are better off investigating the causes of violent crime, to stop the problem before it starts, and to rehabilitate offenders so that they are far less likely to commit another offense.
