I think criminal law probably should not be looked at in this way. Murder? Best if people think of not murdering people as an absolute and not some contract that should be contemplated as breakable if risk/reward calculation is right. Most humans don't think on gradients and are much more comfortable with binary choices. And we would probably have to bring back torture to get the risk/reward appropriate on that law.
