Selon l’avocat Clayton Ruby, auteur du manuel Sentencing, les peines minimales consécutives ne permettent guère de prendre en considération le délinquant et la nature de l’infraction 26. En revanche, Sharon Rosenfeldt, porte-parole de Victims of Violence, estime que le principe de totalité permet aux individus qui commettent des crimes contre les enfants de récidiver 27.
Lawyer Clayton Ruby, author of the textbook Sentencing, has said that consecutive minimum sentences do not leave room for considering the individual offender and the nature of the offence.26 However, Sharon Rosenfeldt, spokesperson for Victims of Violence, has stated that reliance on the totality principle allows those individuals who commit crimes against children to repeatedly reoffend.27
