Tout d'abord, que je sache, il n'existe pas d'étude établissant que les peines obligatoires de 1995 ont eu un effet dissuasif, mais, si elles en ont eu un, fort bien! On les accroît à nouveau de sorte que leur effet dissuasif augmentera probablement.
I have not seen any studies that have demonstrated, first, that the 1995 mandatory sentences had a deterrent effect; and, second, if they have, that is great, and now they are being increased again so that they will probably have more of a deterrent effect.
