The penalty is NEVER preventive
Now you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth. How can you possibly say with any certainty that knowing the penalty for an act doesn't prevent a kid from performing an illegal act? You're saying that it's not possible that a kid can stop from doing something illegal because he knows he might get penalized for it? How is that not preventative?

You are being silly.
