Contrary to popular opinion leniency is not weakness but strength.
The I-Ching says that inferior men rule through harsh penalties and violence but the superior man is lenient and in harmony with the other stations of society and this reflects the benevolent Will of Heaven.
So don't respond when the media calls for harsher penalties.
Pope Francis says that the name of God is Mercy.
We should look to rehabilitation and re-education as solutions to our problems.
Then we will be in harmony with God.
