I have a question on specific and general deterrents. If you look at the changes to section 38 of the act, there might be an argument that this is to introduce specific deterrents, and therefore we're not touching on that decision in the Supreme Court decision Regina v. B.W.P., Regina v. B.V.N., which said that general and specific deterrence are not in this act.
There might be an argument from the other side that this is just attempting to do specific deterrence on conduct that is for specific persons to prevent them from effecting crime again.
What is your stand generally on deterrence and denunciation being introduced to the YCJA? Is it effective?
