Meh, I've always seen that as thinking of yesteryear. Anything should be done for the greater good, and I apply that across the board, and progressive goverments are starting to get on board with this line of thinking.

If statistics show that society is better off with more rehabilitation and less incarceration then don't hold back to satisfy people's sense of revenge and justice.

If statistics show that penalizing drug users adds negative value to society don't continue to do so because people feel a sense of justice in drug users being locked away.

If using convicted criminals and compensating them makes the most sense to test a claim by a large company trying to quickly bully their way into your market, so that you can come to a conclusion on the safety of your city's citizens, aka the greater good of society, you just do it.
