It wouldn't upset me if they got the DP, but I think it is unnecessary and not likely to serve much of a purpose other than to give the public the pound of flesh they are craving for as a result of the awful crimes committed.
Deterrence is a purpose. Rehabilitation is a purpose. Preventing recidivism is a purpose. All of these would be served by a one year ban. It would also be more effective than any fine, civil judgment, or censure. I'm not saying the DP is warranted or coming, but let's not pretend it wouldn't serve social goals not only at State College, but everywhere.

Deterrence is a purpose.

Rehabilitation is a purpose.
quote:That is the same thing as deterrence and is already being accomplished.
Preventing recidivism is a purpose.
quote:It would be more harsh, but I'm not sure more effective.
It would also be more effective than any fine, civil judgment, or censure.
