Are we blinding ourselves with thinking about human rights when the victims of crime never had theirs respected?

This does sort of touch on my ideas of "justice" as opposed to the law.. Basically a person who has been shown to violate the rights of another and caused them harm or damage should not be provided protection under the law..
There was an old concept in some old world countries of the "outlaw". An offender was marked or branded in a visible manner (Yes. Pretty barbaric, but work with me a moment). And anyone could treat that person badly, even illegally, without fear of prosecution..
Now I wouldnt go so far.. However, I do feel that the current system certainly pays way too much attention to the rights of the criminal. Not balancing the harm done to the victim... There is something to be said for an eye for an eye, even as a deterrent..😷

because of due process. you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. at the time of trial punishment can be dished out if there even is a conviction. War has its own rules and war crimes do often get punished.
