We must consider how to achieve a proper balance in this area, which is not always easy. There is a subjective element in that people, depending on where they stand, will take different views of rehabilitation and encouraging offenders to become good, constructive members of society as opposed to what those offenders may have done previously. Everyone deserves a second chance and that should be a hallmark of our society. However, on the other hand, people must pay the penalty for their crimes and make restitution to society in general and to their victims in particular. That might create more order in our society.
