The criminal justice system is designed to protect everyone in the general public. So you don't let a child rapist go free to rape another child just because the first victim does not want to prosecute.
Of course this issue is very common to domestic violence. And if you let a guy beat the hell out of one woman repeatedly then I can almost guarantee that down the road there will be a new victim.
Another place where this is a big issue is when people steal from their own friends and/or family. This is VERY common. In fact most people that steal start out by stealing from the friends and family. And if they are not prosecuted for those first crimes then they eventually move on to new victims.
