Cheers bro. So:

(1) The purposes for which a court may sentence or otherwise deal with an
offender are---

(a) to hold the offender accountable for harm done to the victim and the
community by the offending; or

(b) to promote in the offender a sense of responsibility for, and an
acknowledgment of, that harm; or

(c) to provide for the interests of the victim of the offence; or

(d) to provide reparation for harm done by the offending; or

(e) to denounce the conduct in which the offender was involved; or

(f) to deter the offender or other persons from committing the same or a
similar offence; or

(g) to protect the community from the offender; or

(h) to assist in the offender's rehabilitation and reintegration;
