Revenge is pointless and stupid.
Why does the bad guy need to be punished for his sins? The good guy should feel good in that he's doing the best that he can to better society, and should just pity the criminal, not hate him.
Something has to happen to trigger the criminal behaviours anyway... It's not like someone can just decide overnight that they're gonna kill/steal/etc.
I'd also like to mention that humans naturally feel empathy, it doesn't come from god. The ones that don't are born without it, or conditioned until they don't feel it.
