I'm yet to see this magic happen anywhere in the world. Also doesn't address repeat offenders. The purpose of the criminal justice system is enforcement, judiciary and corrections. You are talking about just corrections. I don't even see enforcement for many many crimes.

And, yes, no insurance will cover my emotional loss. "justice" in the system seems to be missing.

If the answer to that is "deal with it", I'm obliged to return in kind the same mindset to thieves.

If the penalties are a slap on the wrist, I'll be thinking of starting a life of crime, its gotta be easier than than hard work.

Right. The line of thinking around "criminals are victims of circumstances" has always stumped me. It completely marginalizes the actual victims of crime, "property damage is no big deal, covered by insurance". I wonder how many people advocating that line have gone through such a thing themselves
