The system in the United States has a major deterrent effect. A biker named Rick Vallée was arrested in Canada for a murder committed in the United States. He was convicted and, if I remember correctly, sentenced to 25 years in prison and to a compensatory fine for the family of the victim of $1 million. He can't be released until the compensation has been paid to the victim's family. That's really a deterrent effect. We would do well to gather ideas from the United States.
