Because, at least for Americans, there is a retributive mindset. "You did wrong, now I want you to hurt"; ergo, when it happens, they consider it justice.
As opposed to repairing the victim's situation and/or attempting to reform the actor/criminal into a more trustworthy/desirable member of society.
