Revenge is personal.
It is never justified.
Justice is having your grievance heard and someone with the power and authority to rectified the wrong.
Then regardless of the out come, you can sleep with a clean conscience.

Revenge is hardly ever justified and rarely feels as good as we think it will.
To be honestly appeased by revenge you would have to be restored to the state previous to the crime. Unless you have access to a time machine, that's not going to happen.
Give yourself time to heal and seek justice instead.

The standard justifications for incarceration are (a) deterrence, (b) punishment, (c) rehabilitation and (d) prevention. Deterrence is to convince others not to commit that crime. Punishment is to convince that person not to commit that crime again. Rehabilitation is to enable the person not to have to commit crime. Prevention is to keep that person off the streets in order not to commit any crimes. Revenge is never cited as an acceptable societal reason. In some societies, revenge is the only motivation for punishment of an accused. We are not supposed to be emulating those societies.

revenge is not justified. It just means two wrongs.

No. Revenge is not justice and it is wrong. No question that injustice always brings about anger, but I think the term be angry but do not sin is probably right on the money.

If you mean like "an eye for an eye". No it is not justified. If life worked that way there would be no end to the fighting.

no and it is counter-productive in the larger scheme of things .one injustice is not balanced by another injustice.sorry Lynch mobs were first to exemplify this.now the courts or legislature should finish evolving . Death is not justifiable except in defense.and too many punitive verdicts in criminal cases evoke more criminal responses as researched by the FBI statistics on the penal system . it 's very complicated.

No, anything you do would be premeditated, meaning you would get the maximum penalty for any crime that you commit..
Then there is always the religious factor, is it really worth taking the chance, even if you don't get caught in this life?

It is if you believe that "living well is the best revenge."
