Principal Syndrome 

A situation in a person, in the act of harm preventing, will side with bad people and force good people to back down or be punished to prevent harm or get rid of conflict. It comes from the idea of a school principal, who is practicing harm prevention, and so can only make rules, shame or appease. Shame and rules do not work on the bully but work on the good kids and since it takes two to fight, he gets the good kid to back down there by ending the fight and stopping harm.

The result is good people are punished and bad people are rewarded.
