Should our criminal justice system be more punitive or rehabilitative? Why?

I think our criminal justice system should be more punitive because I think the Canadian system is too lenient when it comes too sentencing. I also think they are way too lenient about violent teens. I think there needs to be more social programs for violent youth.

I can analyze evidence to make judgments by writing down the key points of the case and reading it over, then make pros and cons list depending on whether or not I am defense or the crown.
