It's a really good way of forcing them to see the consequences of what they do, and it's really cut down crime around here. We have one of the lowest crime rates in the uk, anyway.
See, that's another one I could believe in-for both parties. The person who was wronged can release their anger at the guilty party and the guilty can see just what they've done. I'm not naive enough to believe that it would deter everyone but it might deter the people who are at the beginning of a possible pattern of crime...
I wish the law was more sensible like that. It'll never happen in the US though.
