I think it's important to remember that "moral hazard" is an economic theory, not a sociological one.

Nevertheless, both the Canadian government and the US Department of Justice have found it to be more effective than tradtional, strictly-punitive measures.

I mean, it can apply. If I knew this was a codified system and I was poor I would just commit crime until I am caught and then show remorse if it happens. I get the benefit of the crime and the chance of not being caught at all and then if I do get caught I can just quit at no loss.
