    Yes, I totally agree, but a few months isn’t enough.

    I’m of the belief that the consequences of a crime should never be shorter than the effect it had on the victim.

    Someone who’s been assaulted at their place of work may develop ongoing trauma beyond a few months. It’s unfair to the victim if they have to suffer longer than the instigator.

      That’s just thinly veiled revenge justice. It’s not a good doctrine for a humane (or working) society.
