REPORT (No. 2) ON PENAL AND PRISON DISCIPLINE. \VE, the undersigned Commissioners, appointed under Letters Patent from the Crown, bearing date the 8th day of August 1870, to enquire into and report upon the Condition of the Penal and Prison Esta.blish­ ments and Penal Discipline in Victoria, have the honor to submit to Your Excellency the following further Report:- I.-PUNISHMENT. 1. Before entering on the enquiry, according to the terms of our Commission, Abstrnct rc­ luticn of " whether the punishment of crimes as now provided by law, and especially for" crim<' to certain crimes specified, " is adapted to their repression, and adequate to the protection punishment. of society," we must first consider the question of the abstract relation of crime to punishment. 2. It is a principle now held by almost all jurists that the primary object of The prim::ry f • fi • f desJgn of pums• h ment IS• to deter rom cnme, an·d t 11us protect society• ; t l1e re ormation o t h e punishment ouenc1r l er b· emg• a secon dary and sub orel' mate o1 )jCCt. • TlIe pena l sentence passe d b y crime.IS to repress the judge has relation to tl1e first, aud the manner in which that sentence is carried out to the second, of these objects. 3. This view is presented ·with much force in a memorandum affixed hy the Opinion ~' '1H! Lortl C•id Lord Chief Justice of England to the Report of the Royal Commission on Transporta­ Justice of tion and Penal Servitude appointed in 1863. Its importance justifies our inserting England. the quotation. His Lordship says :- " The 1mrposes for which the punishment of offenders takes place are twofold ; the first, that of deterring others, exposed to similar temptations, from the commission of crime ; the second, the reformation of the criminal himself. The first is the primary and more important object, for though society has, doubtless, a strong interest in the reformation of the criminal, and his consequent indisposition to crime, yet the result is here confined to the individual offender, while the effect of punishment, as deterring from crime, extends not only to the party suffering the punishment but to all who may be in the habit of committing crime, or who may be tempted to fall into it. Moreover, the reformation of the offender is in the highest degree speculative and uncertain, and its permanency, in the face of renewed temptation, exceedingly precarious. On the other hand, the impression produced by suffering, inflicted as the punish­ ment of crime, and the fear of its repetition, are far more likely to be lasting, and much more calculated to counteract the tendency to the renewal of criminal habits. It is on the assumption that punishment will IV ha>e the effect of deterring from crime that its infllction can alone be justified, its proper ami legitimate purpose being not to avenge crime but to prevent it. The experience of mankind has shown that though crime will always exist to a certain extent, it may be kept within given bounds by the example of punish­ ment. This result it is the business of the lawgiver to accomplish by annexing to each offence the degree of punishment calculated to repress it. More than this would be a waste of so much human suffering ; but to apply less, out of consideration for the criminal, is to sacrifice the interests of society to a misplaced tenderness for those who offend against its laws. Wisdom and humanity, no doubt, alike suggest that if, consistently with this primary purpose, the reformation of the criminal can be brought about, no means should be omitted by which so desirable an end can be achieved. But this-the subsidiary purpose of penal discipline-should be kept in due subordination to its primary and principal one. And it may well be doubted whether, in recent times, the humane and praiseworthy desire to reform and restore the fallen criminal may not have produced too great a tendency to forget that the protection of society should be the first consideration of the lawgiver." Practical 4. In practically applying the principles set forth in the preceding extract, it application of these is needful to keep steadily in view the two separate ends of punishment. The principles. expression quoted above, as to deterring "others," involves an important distinction. For it is certain, with respect to a large class of criminals, that the infliction of punishment is ineffectual to deter them fi·om persevering in evil courses. If unduly severe in proportion to the offence, especially in the higher classes of crime, it but too frequently hardens rather than reforms the offender. The habitual criminal is, in general, proof against its influence. But though it may not deter those who are hardened offenders, it certainly does deter many persons of weak and wavering principles, who might otherwise yield to temptation. It establishes a barrier on the boundary line between right and wrong which multitudes are pre­ vented from overleaping. It supports and strengthens the voice of conscience, by giving to it an outward expression and a practical power. Punishment thus exercises a higher function and a wider influence than the reformation of the individual offender. The final expression of its value as a soci.:<tl instrument is that it preserves multitudes from becoming criminals. Object of 5. For these reasons, it is the manifest duty of the Legislature in enacting, penal sen­ tences. and of judges in awarding, penal sentences, to consider primarily their deterrent force on society, and secondarily their probable moral influence on each particular offender. Every sentence must therefore carry with it a certain degree of sew'rity. It is no doubt natural for a judge, acting under the impulses of hum;1nity, to regard rather the reformation of the individual actually before him than the effect on the general public ; hut if the efficacy of punishment, as respects its prirnary object1 he in proportion to its severity, it follows that punishment ought to he as rigorous as is compatible with a due regard to humanity. \Ve are, therefore, of opinion that the general scale of penalties on the Criminal Statute Book is hy no means disproportionately severe, and that no material reduction could he made in it without incurring the risk of increasing crime, and thereby inflicting serious injury on the communi tv.; . Duty of the 6. But although the consideration of repressing crime must take precedence of State to attempt that of the criminal's refonnation, it is no less the duty as well as the interest of the moral refor­ mation of State to attempt the accomplishment of the latter task. That duty becomes all criminals. the more imperative if, as we have shovm, there is a large class of criminals on whom punishment has no continuous deterrent effect. :Men of this class, when they are released from custody, if they are not better, will assuredly have become worse. Hardened and indifferent to the opinion of their fellow-men, they will have grown desperate and almost reckless. If, therefore, it is possible, whilst they are in confinement, to teach them habits of self-restraint and of respect for the law, not merely will their own v moral character have been improved, but society will have been benefited by its escaping the evils to which it would have been exposed by their liberation. And Peml disci­ pline ought thus a systematic course of reformatory treatment constitutes an indispensable part to be framed with a view of any effective scheme of penal discipline, and all the several portions should be to reforma­ framed with a direct view to that end. tion. 7. Time also beeomes an essential element ; because the process of re­ Time an essential formatory treatment requires to he carried forward with eomparative slo\vness and element in any refor­ caution from stage to stage. In many instances the first lapse into eriminality matory may be the result of mere ignoranee ; ignorance of duty, or of the nature and system. consequences of crime; or it may be the result of an unusual temptation, acting upon a mind not naturally depraved. In these instances, and indeed in all, the indueements to eriminality may be lessened by a judicious system of reformatory discipline, provided it he carried over an extended period of confinement.

PREFACE. The author of this work has not resolved to launch his little craft on the great sea of literature without feeling that the winds and waves might handle her very roughly, but he trusts to the generosity of the public. His only qualifications for so difficult and important a task as that of recording 30 years of the history of penal establish­ ments are intimate knowledge as a subordinate officer of its details, and an honest desire to state impartially what he believes to be of interest to the public, and of undoubted fact. The accumulation of the materials of this work, involving much research into documents of the past, has occupied his leisure hours for many years, and as life is short and the present seems to be a time when there is no burning question before the public respecting the treatment of criminals, he deems it best to delay no longer its publication. He trusts that those who differ from his opinions as here expressed will yet overlook any imperfections in his style of narration, and that all his readers may have as much pleasure in reading these pages as he has had in compiling them.

  • Police-Recorded Crime Trends in Victoria During the COVID-19 Pandemic Stasha Rmandic, Samantha Walker, Sarah Bright and Melanie Millsteed
    Number 10, September 2020 Police-recorded crime trends in Victoria during the COVID-19 pandemic Stasha Rmandic, Samantha Walker, Sarah Bright and Melanie Millsteed This paper aims to examine whether and how the COVID-19 pandemic, associated behaviour changes and implemented restrictions impacted on crime in Victoria. It examines whether there were changes in the volume, nature or location of offending recorded by police following the introduction of restrictions in late March 2020 and provides an overview of offences recorded for breaching restrictions introduced to address COVID-19. While the overall number of offences recorded between April and June 2020 was similar to the number recorded during the same period in 2019, in 2020 there were decreases in the number of property and deception offences recorded and small increases in the number of drug and justice procedures offences recorded. Since March, 6,062 offences have been recorded by police for breaches of COVID-19-related restrictions. The analysis identified that the number of family violence incidents recorded in May and June was significantly higher than what would be expected based on trends over the past five years. Continuing to monitor volumes of family violence incidents recorded throughout the pandemic and triangulating these with other family violence related indicators is paramount to ensuring victim safety. Keywords: COVID-19, coronavirus, pandemic, offending rates, crime trends, family violence 1. Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic describes the global spread of COVID-19, a disease caused by a new strain of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. With no existing community immunity and no vaccine available, governments around the world have introduced physical distancing measures to contain outbreaks of this highly contagious and - at times - fatal virus.

  • Meeting Needs and Reducing Offending Youth Justice Review and Strategy
    Authorised and published by the Victorian Government, 1 Treasury Place Melbourne Victoria 3000 July 2017 If you would like to receive this publication in an accessible format, such as large print or audio, please email [email protected] Also published on justice.vic.gov.au Meeting needs and reducing offending Youth justice review and strategy Part 1 July 2017 Penny Armytage Professor James Ogloff AM Foreword Victoria’s statutory youth justice services operate in a changing environment. Youth justice has a substantial responsibility to act in accordance with the laws that govern them and the policies and procedures that guide them. They are tasked with ensuring they care for and supervise some of the state’s most vulnerable young people. They must provide high-quality interventions so that these young offenders fulfil their obligations to the courts and address their offending behaviour and the harm they caused their victims. Youth justice services must also promote public safety while acting in the interests of both the young offender and the community. Striking the balance between these sometimes competing interests in our contemporary society is not simple. It requires consideration of the nature and causes of youth crime, as well as what works with young people who are still developing. These young people do not always have the maturity to fully appreciate the consequences of their conduct, either in the short or longer term. We recognise the challenges facing the increasingly diverse youth in today’s fast-paced and changing world. Charlie Taylor’s words (from his recent review of the youth justice system in England and Wales) resonate with us: It is right that children who break the law are dealt with differently to adults.
