Sentencing - Aims
-
Retribution
-
-
-
tariff sentences - today, more based on the idea that each crime should have a tariff/level of sentence
-
since 2009, all guidelines must include a starting point for sentencing and a range for the offence
-
-
court will determine the offence category, and once chosen the court should then use the start and range to decide which sentence to impose
Deterrence
-
-
Individual deterrence
-
-
-
assumes the offender will stop to consider their actions, most crimes are spur of the moment, especially if under the influence
General deterrence
value is very doubtful as potential offenders are rarely deterred by the result of a previous offender
-
-
-
-
Protection of the Public
-
:black_flag: Criminal Justice Act 2003: where the public would be at risk then the individual must be detained for the publics protection
-
for less serious crimes, there are other ways to protect the public
-
-
-
Reparation
compensating the victim, usually making the offender pay a sum or money to the victim, or to make restitution
-
-
-
-
Basic Info
judges and magistrates must not only consider the sentences available, but what they hope to achieve
