Subjective Punishment

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A punishment implies some discomfort for its recipient - else it would not punish. Indeed, criminal justice can be viewed as an intricate system that calibrates the severity of punishment - and therefore the amount of the associated discomfort - to individual offenses and offenders. This is done primarily by adjusting the nominal size of punishment, given by the length of a prison sentence, the number of hours of community service, or the amount of a fine. However, the discomfort from a punishment is codetermined by a host of other factors, such as differences across prison facilities, judicial delays, the punishee&apos;s psychological setup, her wealth, luck, family relations, and so on. It is the interaction of the nominal punishment with these subjective factors that determine the total amount of discomfort that a punishment creates in a punishee. &quot;Subjective punishment&quot; (or individualized sentencing) is an umbrella term for a variety of theories that suggest these factors should be accounted for when courts decide on a punishment. Their common denominator is that - in order to maintain the equality of the (total) punitive effect for the same crime - they often imply that different offenders should receive different nominal punishment. This essay aims to provide a broad overview of these theories and their potential implications for criminal justice.
