It is not the role of Government to make us do good things, only to restrain us from doing bad things. The Government has a role to prevent crime by resolving complaints in court. If it is insufficient merely to instruct the offender that they have done a wrong, then punishment must follow.
The only mitigating circumstances, for a defendant, are those in which they have acted in retaliation to an aggression by the ultimate victim. No citizen has the right to coerce others, and has no right to personally enforce debts.
Crime is only personally costly if there are physical repercussions?
It harms me if it harms you. If we put others before ourselves then it would be impossible for us to be the cause of a crime, almost. Other people would prefer you to be happy. To see others happy is a greater pleasure than to be happy yourself. To be happy, seek to make others happy...
People will not be offended if you are apparently selfish, since it is good for them, often. Being selfish is good for everyone. We have nothing to fear from our natural instincts. So let it play out, do not stand in the way of life. It is usually enough to know that we are unwanted, for us to stop doing what we were previously doing if it was harmful. We want to be a good person and will only generally do these things if we imagine that others need to learn.
