Exactly. That's a very good point. While there would be no money going directly into victim services, it would still send the message to the individual that there are some consequences for the activity that he or she got involved in, and the individual is contributing in some way to the society that ultimately has to pick up the tab for all this. I think it works on that level as well.
It's not directly going into the victims fund, but nonetheless it sends the message home to the individual that the individual has committed a serious act for which the individual has to do something to make some sort of recompense, whether that be through community work, as Ms. Morency pointed out, or the payment of a fine. Either way I think this is something that's constructive.
