The purpose of laws is to create norms. Criminal law would be pointless if it was merely about the deterrent effect on a specific individual contemplating a specific crime. By then it's too late. The point is to convey to individuals the degree to which certain conduct is socially unacceptable. Humans being social animals, will usually abide. |
