Famous quotes containing the words criminal and/or law:

    The criminal is quite frequently not equal to his deed: he belittles and slanders it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
