Sorry if you've seen this before.  It appears to have made it

trying again.

At risk of putting words in Mary's mouth, I interpreted this as
making "the offender aware of the severity of the transgression..."
in the sense of making him/her/it aware of the severity with
which society views that transgression, ie that we *won't* put up
with it.
