Reparations for the victims
This is completely pointless and is akin to one hand taking money from the other, the money from the ICO fines will most likely go into the HM Treasury Consolidated Fund, which also happens to fund a large part of the Crown Prosecution Service...
I would rather the money go towards paying the victims some compensation and the rest be used to train the departments involved to be more careful.
