There is a trade off between improving the probability of convicting the correct perpetrator and decreasing the probability of falsely convicting someone who is innocent. This tradeoff is essentially managed by the threshold required for a conviction. The legal system is generally not optimized purely for the first part of this trade off.

It makes sense that people who suffered from a crime would emotionally prefer more focus on a correct conviction at the cost of more false positives.
