I think the other issue that sometimes comes up when we talk about deterrence is that we often hear, “Give me an example of where deterrence has worked. Show me a study where deterrence works.”
My view, quite frankly, is that there are two types of deterrence. One is general deterrence; you make the sentence so strong that people say, “Oh, gee, maybe I don't want to do that.” The other aspect of it, and this is the one that I believe in, is specific deterrence, which means the person who committed this very serious offence...for example, under subsection 279.011(1), which is the most serious one for trafficking under the age of 18, there can be imprisonment. There's a minimum punishment of imprisonment for six years. So if this person committed this offence against six or eight or ten girls under the age of 18, they're going to be put away for a minimum sentence of 48 or so years. My view is that that person has been deterred because they're now in jail; they're not going to commit that offence.
I thought maybe you could comment on that. That's a different version of deterrence.
