"Bad people", and those outside their "in" group
Pretty much. That's the old quote, right? It's Good vs. Evil. The Good Guys vs. the Bad Guys. The purpose of society's laws should be to punish and restrain the Bad Guys, and protect the Good Guys.
Although apparently not that old, it's only from 2018.
Well, the idea put to practice is much older.
