The common perception is that because they don't actually see the suffering of the victim, they tend to see it as a game, as if the acts that they commit do not result in some negative impact on the lives of other people.

When people get to see for real … this negative impact, it tends to dissuade them from taking part in these activities. And as well, when we arrest these suspects and convict them, after the trial when we put this information across to the society it lets people know that crime does not pay. So that in itself creates deterrence.

And with this public awareness campaign that is ongoing, once message gets across, it will send the signal to the youth that this type of crime will not be condoned and whoever commits it will pay for it.
