I think it is much too precipitous and not appropriate because at present it is part of a reactive movement. It is important that we be able to step back and think about it. The YCJA has been enacted, efforts have been made to determine and evaluate the Act's effects, by doing research. If we waited until we had the empirical results of the evaluations that are being done or are in preparation, we might be in a much better position, in a year or two or three years, to implement or improve the existing system so that it would be even better at meeting the two objectives, protecting society and making reparations to victims and also rehabilitating young people and prevention.
