A Judge always asks for a pre sentence report to guide him/her in sentencing. A pre sentence report delves in the character of the accused and any previous records and his/her behaviour.
Yes, a pre-sentencing report is commonly used.

It is prepared for the sentencing judge so that they can know the background and all pertinent details of the defendant's past life (with particular attention to any criminal history) so that the judge can form a better basis on how best to sentence the defendant after he/she was found guilty.
During the period between conviction and sentencing in a criminal case, the court typically conducts pre-sentencing investigations and evaluations to gather information about the defendant's background, the circumstances of the crime, and any mitigating or aggravating factors. The judge considers this information, along with sentencing guidelines and recommendations, before determining the appropriate punishment for the convicted individual. This period may also involve the preparation of a pre-sentence report and the opportunity for the defense and prosecution to present arguments or evidence related to the sentencing decision.
