Absolutely. And don't take my word for it; look at the behaviour of judges over the last couple of decades.
We have to be very, very careful of what data we look at here. I know there's been plenty of so-called evidence put forward to say that judges aren't becoming more lenient and there's no need to limit discretion, but I would say there are serious problems with the way they've done that analysis.
At the end of the day, I think there's a fundamental flaw here. Judges claim they take into account--and we know they do because they're required to--rehabilitation, deterrence, education, denunciation, public safety. Only an idiot would believe this is occurring given the current sentencing practices. Only an idiot would say they've done one of those things with a one-month prison sentence.
This is just nonsense. We have to move away from this. I would argue that means it basically needs an overhaul of that business.
