A man who, when he was 17, raped a 13 year old in a park, and carried out a number of assaults, has been sentenced to 270 hours of unpaid work and will be on a sex offenders register for 3 years.

This the result of a change in sentencing practices in Scotland in January 2022, whereby anyone under the age of 25 is considered a young person, not necessarily full mature and rehabilitation is prioritised over punishment

Quite how a community payback order, which usually involves tidying up gardens and litter picking, will rehabilitate a child rapist, is beyond me. That he will be on the sex offenders register just means he gets occasional visits by the police to check he is behaving. It is not rehabilitation either.
It looks like Scotland is trying to emulate the Nordic countries rehabilitative systems, but without bothering to include the rehabilitation part.
