Well, considering that only the villains are able to be injured in that manner and upstanding citizens *cannot be hurt* (outside of being placed into a body bag, which kills them immediately...) I think that would work just fine 
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

A necessary game mechanic for this Suggestion would be that each 'properly adjudicated and convicted felon' would be removed from the game for a proscribed period of time. Thus visibly making the 'streets safer'.
Of course, then along comes that "Defeat 30 Family" mission... and "Hey! WTH did all the Family go? Guess I go without that costume slot til next month." 
I'm really not into RP, but why do those who want to RP have to have it handed to them on a silver platter? Cant one just 'RP the Law & Order: Heroic Intent' in their heads?

City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

I'd rather see a CSI: Paragon City.
Longbow Eagle: Ah, man. Captain Mako really did a number on this guy.

I think that we should put a Judicial System in the game! Where you can if you chose to take the villain that you arrest to Court and act as a witness to the crimes that they committed! Then afterwards if their guilty or not they are either set sent to jail or set free! On top of that you could get a badge or something like that! I know this isit the best idea i the world but it would make more realistic! So plz think about it! So wut do you guys think about this idea?

penal code typically doesn't include punishment by savage beating on the street.
