Yes. That's a big step in the right direction because the criminals have to be made aware that they're causing damage. They might know that they're causing damage, but currently they're only sentenced to jail or to serve time. As a victim it doesn't feel right that they might go to jail but we suffer the hardship, when it's a choice that they made. They committed crimes on purpose.
As victims we're honest citizens. We try to live the best possible life. We can't be prepared for that. Their voluntary actions make us victims, so they should pay for it. They should have financial consequences like we do. If we break a window, we have to pay to have it repaired. In civil life it's the same. When we cause damage, we pay. It should be the same thing for criminals. That's what this law is going to be tending toward.
