I agree with making restitution rather than punishment the basis for
treatment of crime.  I am not so sure that fostering a plethora of
civil suits tho is the best way to institute such a policy.
Rather the court system should administer a system of restitution
and trying to bring criminal offenders to see the consequences of
their crimes rather than the current system of jailing them with
a bunch of other criminals who foster further lawlessness rather
than improved behavior.
For one I actually agree with a Libertarian position!
