CLU 3MR Lesson 65

Sentencing Learning Goal: Explain how sentencing achieves the goals of Canada’s justice system. --Note and discussion --Complete sentencing table

From Sentencing to Release Chapter 9 A delicate balance of many factors: severity of the crime, the offender’s background and society’s view Some people argue that prisons are too soft Too expensive Fail to reform criminals Are there better options?

Imposing a Sentence Judges have lots of freedom and leeway Some offences have a mandatory minimum sentence, but most don’t Judges look at precedents Victim impact statement is asked for

Recent changes: More sentences served in the community with supervision Long-term offender label has been introduced Also created mandatory minimum sentences Tackling Violent Crime Act (2008) amended the Criminal Code

Purposes of Sentencing

1. Denouncing Unlawful Conduct Condemning the crime from society’s viewpoint Considers character and past behaviour (revenge and retribution are not sentencing objectives in the CC)

2. Deterrence To promote respect for the law To maintain a just, peaceful, and safe society Specific deterrence: discourages the specific criminal from reoffending General deterrence: discourages people in society from committing a particular crime

3. Separation of the Offender from Society Our incarceration rate is not as high as in other countries Prison Stats

4. Rehabilitation To help an offender successfully reintegrate back into society To restore good mental and moral health Education, counselling, training To prevent recidivism

Others: to provide reparations for harm done Promote a sense of responsibility in offenders

Considerations in Sentencing Must be proportional Mitigating circumstances: factors that demonstrate the punishment should be less severe Aggravating circumstances: factors that demonstrate the punishment should be more severe

Task: Complete the hand out “Sentences” using pages 298-309 of your textbook.
