It's hard to deny that crime within a particular community, especially high-profile, very violent crime, has an impact not only on the immediate victims and their families but also on Canadians' sense of safety within their own communities and that kind of thing.
For the particular task that the judge has to do in terms of the individualized sentencing for that offender, I don't know how particularly useful it will be in every case. It may be that in some cases there's a particular impact and it's particularly relevant, but as a matter of course I have some doubt about how useful it will be to the actual calculus and analysis that a sentencing judge has to do.
