Having the idiot in jail is not quite a fair trade for having the criminal on the street (although with some idiots it might be close to a fair trade), but chances are probably pretty good that the criminal will commit another crime and hopefully he will already be on law enforcement's radar when he does.

No perfect answer to this, but for some reason I have no more sympathy for the idiot/liar than I do for the criminal.
