Right, but often most of them were teenager or early adults, they just got out of High School... Or first time offender, they may not realize the made bad choices, what should we do? Just punish them outright, and leave record permanently for everyone to see it? I don't think it is workable solution. It will cost more money down the road, so instead try find way to rehabilitate them, after 2nd or 3rd same or similar offense then its serious enough for them to be punish more.
