To say wanting vengeance for a crime is not rational or reasonable is ignoring human nature- I agree that it shouldn't be the driver behind our laws because laws should be above emotion and focus only on fact... however it IS a natural reaction and it is a purpose of punishment

Wait vengeance is the primary purpose of the justice system? So we seek "vengeance" against people who drive too fast or illegally park?
I believe the primary purpose is deterrence- people get a ticket, others don't park illegally or speed. People get fried- others don't murder
