Increasing negative = Aggravating. Reducing negative= mitigating. Aggravating circumstance is a circumstance that does not exonerate a person but which reduces the penalty associated with the offense.
A combination of aggravating and mitigating circumstances. Aggravating circumstances may be the seriousness of the crime, your risk of flight for prosecution, your past criminal history. Mitigating circumstances may be your good reputation.
Mitigating factors are to do with law, they apply both in criminal and civl. It where certain factors/circumstances allow the court to give a lighter sentance than what would normally be given. It is the opposite of Aggravating factors.
Aggravating circumstances are factors that make a crime more serious or deserving of a harsher punishment, such as the presence of violence or a previous criminal record. Mitigating circumstances, on the other hand, are factors that may make a crime less serious or deserving of a lesser punishment, such as the defendant's age or mental state.
There are no set penalties for criminal offenses. After conviction, the court must consider the facts and circumstances of the crime, the defendant's prior history, and a number of other mitigating and aggravating circumstances.
"Mitigation" refers to a tendency to lessen the negative effects of something and "aggravation" refers to a tendency to increase the negative effects of something. I imagine that the context of these two concepts is in respect to criminal legal proceedings, so mitigating circumstances are those that tend to make the crime less awful or more justifiable, such as someone stealing a loaf of bread to feed their starving family, and aggravating circumstances are those that make a crime more awful or less justifiable, such as torturing someone before murdering them.
