So, if you commit a financial crime you're still eligible for victim financial assistance. Makes perfect sense.
It doesn't seem out of place to me, to treat violent crimes differently. If you commit a homicide, or an armed robbery, I do think that is in a different category than just skimming some money off of the books.
I tend to agree with those who are against this type of thing all together. Citing, that they have payed for their crime, and that it is often not a penalty for the person who committed the crime anyway. Agree or disagree, if you think it should be expanded to other types of crimes or removed all together, then make your case. I just think that making this about racism is ridiculous.
