Both! Justice should be given to every individual BUT...if that individual is a danger to society,society needs justice as well. Good question and just shows how contradicting a simple law can be.

Another View: With as much due respect to the rights of individuals as possible, the answer is, whichever provides the greatest good for the greatest number.

'Life' is not fair, and does not guarantee equal outcome for everyone.
