Whether the perp feels empathy for their victim if they're battered also is besides the point in my view. Call it revenge, payback, getting their just desserts, I think those who harm others deserve to harmed in the same way.
I'm not looking for any 'higher' purpose or anything therapeutic, it's as simple as if you hit someone then expect to be hit back and call it even.
Those people who were victims of violence and become violent themselves should know better and even if they don't, it's not an excuse or justification to harm others-so they get what they deserve all the same. There's plenty of other people who were victims and did not become abusers themselves.
Is It Normal That I'm Largely Opposed To Incarceration?
