It is nothing else but a way to force people to accept others' authority.
What if Hitler was a really great guy in his previous lives? Does he get off the hook for killing 6 million people? Or were those 6 million people all bad people in their previous life? How can you really punish someone for doing something they don't remember doing? Seems to me like punishment for punishments sake, and not justice at all. Punishment should teach a lesson, and mystical karma would not be teaching anyone a lesson at all.
Rehabilitation is best but there are problems with rehabilitation.
1) These days nobody offer rehabilitation.
It would be a political suicide.
The public demand revenge and jails or death sentences just serve that purpose.
2) Even if there would be rehabilitation not many people are prepared of being rehabilitated.
Said this there are laws in the physical dimension that say that every reaction has got to have an equal and opposite reaction.
Karma follow the same logic.
Humans can not change the way these laws works.
Humans can only try their very best to implement rehabilitation whenever and wherever is possible.
