I don't want to put words in your mouth, but your primary role is to, as you said, ensure the rule of law but from the point of view of the offender. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. But other parts of this debate are about the victim and about the need for society to ensure that its laws are enforced, because if there is a diminution of belief that the laws are going to be enforced, then you get an increase in vigilantism, which would be something that we would not want to see either. There's a lot of moving parts in this is what I'm trying to say.
