He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.
Our emotions may cry for vengeance in the wake of a horrible crime, but we know that killing the criminal will not undo the crime, will not prevent similar crimes by others, does not benefit the victim, destroys human life and brutalizes society. If we are to still violence, we must cherish life. Executions cheapen life.

The police, at their best, do three things; they prevent crime, they respond to crime, and they solve crime.

Crime is fought best at the scene of the violence.

Middle class jobs prevent crime and violence.
Prudence will punish to prevent crime, not to avenge it.
Those magistrates who can prevent crime, and do not, in effect encourage it.
The whole duty of government is to prevent crime and to preserve contracts.
The best crime stories are always about the crime and its consequences - you know, 'Crime And Punishment' is the classic. Where you have the crime, and its consequences are the story, but considering the crime and the consequences makes you think about the society in which the crime takes place, if you see what I mean.
We are not prepared to consider special category status for certain groups of people serving sentences for crime. Crime is crime is crime, it is not political
If a superhero is a community superhero, then is he going to protect his community by controlling everything? If he decides to control crime, does that make him a crime boss? Does that make him a criminal?
