I go

deterrence > rehabilitation > punishment

i want low crime
i want offenders to be able to reintegrate into lawful society
once those are accomplished, I want there the sentence to carry a sense of justice. many white collar criminals it seems like there is a lack of justice with the sentencing.


So you think the rehabilitation of a criminal should outweigh the concerns of the family and society in seeing an evil deed punished?

Clearly. You think its worth that criminal committing another crime just so the family can get their revenge porn?

Not at all. Deterrence, rehabilitation, and retributivism are not all completely at odds. It's a matter of priorities.

I wouldn't call for retribution, while leaving deterrence off the table, of course.
