What about the people they perpetrated the crime against? They are not all nameless and faceless... There is an offender walking around right now due to this belief that they are not violent offenders and shouldn't be sent to prison. This individual has cost me and my family lots of time and money and I have no way of recovering it. My impact of his crime in time value alone has been more than his "punishment". (the monetary restitution will never be paid and there is no point in suing for the same reason.) Maybe I'm just angry but I see the system failed to provide a disincentive for this particular crime. Dropping the risk to reward ratio creates criminals.
