I'm referring to what people select for with law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone%27s_ratio

Does a law system let some guilty people got free to avoid incarcerating the innocent, or does it incarcerate the innocent to avoid letting some guilty people go free?

My opinion is to lean towards letting the guilty go to avoid incarcerating the innocent, but other people in other places can lean the other direction.
