So this question about whether three strikes is actually more effective than these—well, the answer is no. Three strikes is imported law from a failed US system. It was enacted in 2010 and modelled upon California's 1994 three-strikes law. That Californian law was draconian, and it has been criticised since its enactment as the toughest law in America. It is not serving that population. It is not serving the ideology of that population, where people are becoming more and more polarised around how we should treat offending, given that on one side you have the need for rehabilitation, and on one side you have the need for deterrence. Penalties like three strikes require us to be more and more polarised over time. They don't serve the people of America, and they certainly don't serve us.
