“…The sentencing task is complex. Sentencers receive little or no feedback on the outcomes of their own or others’ sentencing decisions, and although official statistics on issues such as recidivism (reoffending) rates may be available, these are averages over offence types, offender types and court types, and are often unreliable (e.g., Hedderman, 2009; Richards, 2011). Some form of feedback may be available when a decision is appealed, but this is rare, and successful appeals largely reflect concerns over lack of due process rather than the outcome (Brignell & Donnelly, 2005; Sentencing Advisory Council, 2012).…”

Cognitive continuum theory points to the middle-ground between the intuitive and analytic modes of cognition, called quasirationality. In the context of sentencing, we discuss how legal models prescribe the use of different modes of cognition. These models aim to help judges perform the cognitive balancing act required between factors indicating a more or less severe penalty for an offender. We compare sentencing in three common law jurisdictions (i.e., Australia, the US, and England and Wales). Each places a different emphasis on the use of intuition and analysis; but all are quasirational. We conclude that the most appropriate mode of cognition will likely be that which corresponds best with properties of the sentencing task. Finally, we discuss the implications of this cognition-task correspondence approach for researchers and legal policy-makers.

“…In Victoria, the rate of return to corrective services within two years was 15.6% in 2018–19 (PC, 2020). However, calculations of recidivism rates are imprecise (Richards, 2011) and comparison of recidivism rates between cohorts who may have vastly different characteristics, such as prior offense history, is problematic (McIvor, 2010). The completion rates of CCOs in Victoria, indicating the extent to which order requirements are complied with, were the lowest in Australia in 2018–19, at 56.4% (PC, 2020).…”

The Community Correction Order, introduced in Victoria, Australia in 2012, provides a sentencing option that enables eligible offenders to serve their sanction in the community, with access to treatment or other rehabilitative activities. This paper contributes to a scant body of research investigating the specific needs of this group, their barriers to inclusion and the extent to which they experience the rehabilitative aspects of Community Correction Orders. It draws on survey data collected from 200 adults (137 men and 63 women) on Community Correction Orders in outer west metropolitan Melbourne and qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with a sub-set of 20 participants. Long-term unemployment, severe economic hardship, physical and mental health issues, social isolation and troubled personal relationships were common. While participants experienced the punitive aspects of Community Correction Orders, there was limited evidence that they were supported to address key issues that may be predictive of future offending. Support to re/engage in education, training and employment was a key area of unmet need and engagement in other therapeutic programs was low. Opportunities to enhance the rehabilitative potential of Community Correction Orders are discussed, with the paper highlighting that there is a need for rigorous evaluation of community work program activities.
