Does Yellow Ribbon support all types of offenders?

Does anyone know what type of offenders get support from Yellow Ribbon? Most of the crimes deserve a 2nd chance but I don't think all offences deserve a 2nd chance. It's unfair for the victims and their families. Rapists, murder or harming with intention, traffic offenders are some which I don't feel they deserve yellow ribbon support. The sentencing is already so weak and cheap and injustice, yet they still have support for their heinous crimes? Let's take traffic offences for an example. Traffic offences involve life and death but punishment is just a few hundred dollars or rarely thousands. What if they're rich? Those money can't do any damage to them. That demerit point system is also useless as you can see on the news, how many people are caught driving without licence? No one is going to track the ones who are banned from driving 24/7. And the jail term for death and injury is a joke to the public. Imagine, your loved one in the wheelchair for the rest of their life, while the offender just came out of jail for only 1-2 years (or even weeks) getting all the support from yellow ribbon (maybe) and people blindly say you should give people a second chance, without knowing what they did. They got the chance to restart their life, but what about your crippled family member? He or she is walking in the mall now and your disabled fsmily member need to enter it inconveniently. And no caning. Let me reiterate, life and death. The punishment should be heavy and severe enough to give justice to the victims. See, when you're getting your licence, your instructor and the theory already informed you that you must obey the rules yet you still do it. On the road, there are signs, on the tv or social media, there are advertisement warning you about speeding and drive driving, yet you still do it. You were given 2nd and 3rd warnings and yet you still do it. It's like you are offending with intention. It also cannot be classified as "accident". You caused it with intention despite all the warnings. You don't deserve the 2nd chance. The punishment is already so lenient anyway. Does Yellow Ribbon support them?
