Document Summary

Pan handling, and squeegeeing is now illegal. Focus only on the act (sentence fits the offence not the offender) By only focusing on the act, bias won"t be as common. Principle of proportionality (some offences are more serious than others, and the more serious offences should have more serious punishments) Punishment has to be a good fit to the seriousness of the offence. Creation of alternative sanctions (house arrest, probation, fines etc. ) No plea-bargaining (admit guilt for an exchange i. e. carla halmoka) Development of scale of proportional punishments is difficult. Seriousness of crimes are not objective facts (i. e. robbery and aggravated assault) Laws must apply to all equally (focus solely on actus rea) Idea of all these changes were to stop people from wanting to commit crimes. Fear of punishment = compliance to the law. Protection of society rather than individual rights. More money need to be spent on all criminal justice agencies.
