I thank Ishna Ji for this question. It's a question most people have asked but really has no definite answer. It's reassuring to read people's thoughts on it instead of pretending no one has ever wondered. I  try not to worry about what will happen to others and focus on keeping myself good, and hopefully affect more people in a positive way than nasty people do in a negative way.

That said, last night I couldn't sleep because I was having nightmares as a result of evil that was done to me. When things like this happen, I can't help wondering, what will happen to them? I know how it affected me, but I wonder if they sleep at night and if they will be punished, and even worse, are they still out there causing harm to others?

I agree with kds ji on this

As others said first we need to protect. I would honestly take the burden of incarcerating or even slaying another if I knew it meant they would never cause harm to anyone again. This is the viewpoint from someone who knows that one evil action can have a domino effect an another's life; when you hurt/kill one person you are not just hurting or killing them, also everyone who cares for them.
