Like Will said, I know that with pedophiles you can't prevent them from commencing take two of their crime, but a beat-down would at least cause most people to think twice before taking their respective innappropriate action. Then again, most people aren't pedophiles, so this probably doesn't fully apply.
Martian, isn't justice vengeance, but it's neccesary and approved of and supported by the people? Basically what I'm saying is that justice is the good kind of vengeance (the only good kind, actually).
