    • An insistence that tolerance for human frailty is indeed a settled moral prescription would run head on into the objection that this entails that we are born with a certain amount of credit points which we progressively lose. If this was so, there is no logical reason why tolerance should only kick in at the sentencing stage. Surely, it would apply to give each of us immunity from prosecution and guilt in the first place.

    • This follows from the claim that the purpose of the criminal law is to prevent people doing acts which cause, or seriously threaten, harm to others. There is no doubt that there is a distinction between offenses that violate fundamental human concerns and those that impinge less significantly on other human interests, but most conduct which is proscribed by the criminal law involves a minimum threshold of invasiveness upon the interests of others. Thus the criminal law in most western jurisdictions is becoming less concerned with regulating the self-regarding conduct of individuals or enforcing public standards of decency: see

    • Factors such as remorse and co-operation with authorities are closely related to, and serve to counteract the need for, specific deterrence. Offenders who are genuinely remorseful about their conduct and co-operate with authorities in an attempt to redeem themselves evince regret for their actions and are felt to be less prone to act similarly again; hence the need for specific deterrence is lessened. Remorse is declared to be relevant by the Sentencing Act 1991 (Vic), s 5(2)(e) (a plea of guilty is evidence of remorse) and the Crimes Act 1914 (C'th), ss 16A (2) (f) & (h).

    • It was essentially for this reason that the Australian Law Reform Commission, in Sentencing, Report No. 44, at xxviii, 18 (1987) rejected the use of incapacitation (and general deterrence) as a proper objective of sentencing. About a decade later, however, the New South Wales Law Reform Commission in its report: Sentencing, Report No. 79, at 332 (1996), considered incapacitation to be an appropriate rationale for sentencing.
