NUS Peeping Tom case: Age a key factor in deciding such cases, say lawyers

Click HERE

there are four principles at play when determining an appropriate sentence for an offender: 
1) retribution; 
2) general deterrence - or deterring the public at large from committing offences; 
3) specific deterrence, which refers to deterring a particular individual; and 
4) rehabilitation.

Note that for this example, there is doxxing at play on the part of the victim. She was the one who revealed the true identity and background of the perpetrator/culprit online. We have a paradoxical situation where instead of a gag order on the identity of the victim, it is the identity of the culprit that appears to be withheld (at least initially) in order to give him a second chance.....
We also have a weird situation where the culprit is slowly becoming the victim, as the actual victim goes online to seek the justice she wants, in the process becoming the aggressor or even culprit here....talk about role reversal!  [click HERE]
