SHIRLEY S. ABRAHAMSON, J.
(concurring). I concur with the result in this case. I write separately to emphasize that both the case law and the statutory law in Wisconsin require probation to serve the dual goals of rehabilitating the probationer and making the victim whole to the extent possible. The circuit court must establish a reasonable restitution schedule that reflects the dual goals, the probationer's financial resources and future ability to pay, the victim's loss, and the maximum term of probation. See State v. Thelmer Davis, filed Feb. 11, 1986 (Abrahamson, J., concurring). 127 Wis. 2d 486, 381 N.W.2d 333 (1986).
