Laws are intended as legal nets for discouraging EVERYONE from committing crimes. They're not really about targeting just a specific type of criminal because, like a net, some things will still pass through.

Most criminals who intend to do something that breaks a law are not concerned about legality; they don't care about the law to begin with. They're going to pass through.

The law is there to discourage everyone else who sees these criminals breaking the law from thinking "oh so we can all do this". Instead, because of the existence of the law witnesses are more likely to report the criminal behavior, which benefits society on a wider scale because typically no one wants to be the victims of said crimes.
