摘要

个人减刑因素(PMFs),如品行端正、悔过自新和戒除毒瘾,有助于判刑者评估罪犯过去、现在和未来的行为。我们分析了英格兰和威尔士 2011-2014 年刑事法庭量刑调查的数据,在控制其他量刑相关因素的情况下,研究了这些个人减刑因素与袭击罪和入室盗窃罪的监禁判决之间的关系。除了揭示三种 PMF 的分布和共存情况外,研究还发现,良好的品格、悔恨和戒除毒瘾都具有显著的减刑效果。在这三种因素中,戒除毒瘾对两种犯罪类型的影响最大,而良好品格对入室盗窃罪的影响要大于伤害罪。此外,当某些减刑因素同时出现时,它们的权重似乎较低。我们考虑了这些发现对量刑政策和实践的影响。

The role of character-based personal mitigation in sentencing judgments

Personal mitigating factors (PMFs) such as good character, remorse and addressing addiction help sentencers evaluate an offender's past, present and future behavior. We analyzed data from the 2011–2014 Crown Court Sentencing Surveys in England and Wales to examine the relationship between these PMFs and custodial sentences passed on assault and burglary offenses, controlling for other sentencing relevant factors. Beyond revealing the distribution and co-occurrence of the three PMFs, it was found that good character, remorse and addressing addiction all had a significant mitigating effect. The effects of addressing addiction were the strongest of the three across both offense types, while good character had a stronger effect on burglary than assault. In addition, some mitigating factors appear to be underweighted when they occur together. We consider the implications of these findings for sentencing policy and practice.
