Yes, deterrence does require both sufficient certainty and severity of punishment. But, those can pull against each other and it seems quite likely that universities and individual academics would stonewall if cooperation could lead to a colleague being imprisoned for years. A more fitting punishment is firing and blacklisting from future research posts. |

Obstruction of justice is a crime too.
And I'd argue that if they're willing to protect someone faking research they're no better and should follow them in jail.
