A Convicted Criminal who has served the terms of his sentence and/or paid the required fine or other punishment by law is said to have “paid his debt” to Society.  This statement is aptly put, but the sayer may not necessarily be aware of it - no common parlance on crime and punishment makes more sense to an economist than this commonly used metaphor.

That Fourah Bay College is now the softest target for thieves and armed robbers is the understatement of the decade. I am first going to bore you with the litany of thieving that plagues the college every day.

This question is parodied from a biblical statement in Romans 3:8 that states “And why not do evil that good may come?” Referring to the context some people felt that they should do evil as a prelude to good. That false argument was based on the idea that the Lord needs sin in order to demonstrate that he is God. That is not so.
