This Amendment Paper amends Amendment Paper No 244 amending the Sentencing (Reform) Amendment Bill. It amends clause 7 to retain discounts in sentencing where the offender expresses remorse and attempts to fully or partially remedy the harm caused by the offending. Limiting the use of the remorse discount is counterproductive to the principles of restorative justice. Without any benefit in sentencing outcomes, offenders may redirect their resources elsewhere. This undermines restorative justice outcomes and true accountability to the victim, as well as potentially removing the prospect of a remedy to the harm they experienced. Restorative justice processes have positive outcomes for both victims and offenders by reducing recidivism and improving victim satisfaction with the sentencing (and overall justice) process.
