If you look at section 742.1 you will see a number of preconditions listed providing for conditional sentences. What I am recommending is that there be an additional condition inserted in section 742.1 that makes it clear that the conditional sentence is a response to sentences where the priority is to be on rehabilitation or restorative justice, so that the judge should not impose a conditional sentence in a case where priority should be given to denunciation or deterrence.
So whenever a judge sets out to sentence an offender, the judge should decide what the goals of sentence are in that particular case and what the priorities are. If the circumstances are serious enough that denunciation and deterrence are required, even at the expense perhaps of engaging in a rehabilitative sentence, then a conditional sentence would not be appropriate.
