"It is usual for the law to prescribe a lesser penalty for the attempt than for the completed crime. The reason is plain enough. Doing harm is a more serious matter than simply doing what might have ended up as that but didn't. It seems, therefore, that one who does harm does something that is more wrong than one who does something harmful but with no one harmed."
-H. Gross, A Theory of Justice
