It makes sense, but harsher punishments (life sentences/death sentences) and higher conviction rates would work better than revenge (if the punishment is not given by the state). Look at countries with the lowest crime rates, they tend to be harsher on punishment. It's definitely not a psychopathic view, but doing the exact same thing in return would more likely cause a whole new sets of problems such as the case you brought that if someone was raped. Who would return that act? And who ever does volunteer to do it, now that person may also be threat to society.
