Rehabilitation
Deterrence (General and Specific)
Restorative Justive
Contemporary sentencing aims to achieve a balance between punishment, deterrence, rehabilitation, and public safety. It also focuses on addressing underlying issues such as reducing recidivism, promoting restorative justice, and ensuring fairness and proportionality in sentencing decisions. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on taking into account individual circumstances and promoting alternatives to incarceration when appropriate.
Among the various goals of sentencing, I favor rehabilitation, as it seeks to reintegrate offenders back into society as productive members. This approach emphasizes addressing the underlying issues that contribute to criminal behavior, such as substance abuse or mental health challenges. By focusing on rehabilitation, we can reduce recidivism rates and promote safer communities, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.

The most common structured sentencing models in use today include determinate sentencing, indeterminate sentencing, and sentencing guidelines. Determinate sentencing involves fixed terms for specific crimes, while indeterminate sentencing allows for a range of time to be served based on individual behavior. Sentencing guidelines provide a framework for judges to consider various factors in determining appropriate sentences.
Sentencing Guidelines Council was created in 2003.
Rational sentencing goals aim to achieve fairness and consistency in the criminal justice system by balancing several key objectives. These include deterrence, which seeks to discourage future crimes; rehabilitation, focused on reforming offenders; incapacitation, which aims to protect society by removing dangerous individuals; and retribution, ensuring that offenders receive a punishment proportional to their crime. Ultimately, these goals strive to promote public safety while also considering the rights and needs of both victims and offenders.
