It's that whole social contract thing: we give up our right to deal with dishonest scumbags by putting a bullet in their faces, and instead the government steps in to deal with those scumbags using courts instead. And before you tell me what you personally would like, keep in mind humanity decided to make that contract a looooooong time ago. However it's been enacted over the millennia we've decided as a civilization that having the ruling of courts over personal revenge is way more preferable.
Social Contract? I didn't sign ****.
