The punishment should also act as a major deterrent to others who are thinking of committing the same crime.

When people keep committing the same crime it's an indication that they feel a) that the chances of being caught are negligible and b) that if they do get caught the punishment won't be that bad anyway.

Justice depends on ensuring that there are high rates of detection and swift and heavy punishments for the convicted.
