I'm going to address this with the context of my own beliefs since I understand them best
I did say God will judge them and punish them
I also said this will happen only on the condition that we did not punish them ourselves in this life
Should someone be unjustly or excessively punished, God will reward their perseverance via blessings/rewards in the afterlife.
"Verily, with every difficulty there is relief." (Quran 94:6)

Yes, but wouldn't every human judgment fall so short of anything that was truly just? And that it is fallacious to stand as God in that place of judgment? Would you rather that God judge you personally or that man be allowed to judge you? If your reward is with God then shouldn't you want that for yourself and for others, rather than to be judged by fallible man? Just curious…it seems as though you think there is no difference in the outcome of the judgment (meaning that if man makes an error, God will make restitution and if man goes unpunished, God will also make an appropriate judgment)…and if there is no difference (because God will make all things restored through his own perfect judgment) then we should always side on the least objectionable outcome, with God as the judge rather than any man or religion…for if it all comes out in the wash, as they say then to hold judgment over another man is to increase your own liability to have judged incorrectly.

also we need some punishment in this world to keep society from going to shit as a result of criminals doing whatever and getting away without getting punished and therefore continuing to be criminals

This is why care must be applied to make sure judgement is fair and accurate
Also God punishes people based on their intention when performing actions that are wrong. If you believe you did enough to ensure that your judgement was accurate then God won't punish you if the punishment was actually excessive. Instead the person who was punished would be given blessings in this world or the afterlife effectively as compensation

The punishment of God in the afterlife is literally Hell. Far worse than any punishment in life. To some extent, you could consider punishment in this world as a mercy. If there's any imbalance in the mortal punishment God makes up the difference, thus justice is upheld
