punishment of the innocent meaning in English

无辜受罚

If i am right in thinking that the case for punishing the guilty must be made utimately on the claim that such is justifiable as the only realistic means by which to deter potential offenders , then those who are so horrified by the presence of the bare possibility of the punishment of the innocent ought to be far more concerned than they are over the punishment of the guilty
作为唯一一种威慑潜在犯罪人的现实手段，如果认为惩罚罪人应该建立在这样做是正当的主张上的想法是正确的，那么那些被呈现出来的惩罚无辜者的可能性威吓的人们应该远远没有惩罚罪人本身受到关注。
If i am even partly right , it is paradoxical , to say the least , that those who worry so much about the punishment of the innocent fail even to consider that the punishment of the guilty may be offensive for precisely those same reasons which they are so ready to regard as decisive whenever the possibility of the punishment of the innocent is raised
如果我的说法只是部分的正确，那么那些忧虑惩罚无辜者现象的人们甚至没有考虑到惩罚罪人可能是侵犯性的，因为相同的理由：即不论惩罚无辜者的可能性何时增大，他们都准备把它看作是决定性的，这种说法是荒谬的。
