If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys
it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers
ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to
encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of
criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can
only be the maintenance of the legal order.
