4 British Columbia s New Regime Implemented in 2010 due to the tragic death of a 4-year-old girl Administrative in nature. Independent of criminal system. Significant changes were made to the Motor Vehicle Act Based on the deterrence model. It is the perceived and actual rates of apprehension that have the greatest deterrent impact.
