新南威尔士州将禁止对所有罪行的“良好品德”判刑,以减少受害者创伤和不平等。 New South Wales will ban "good character" from sentencing in all crimes to reduce victim trauma and inequality.

新南威尔士州计划成为第一个禁止在所有刑事案件中将“良好品格”作为判刑因素的澳大利亚州, New South Wales plans to become the first Australian state to ban "good character" as a sentencing factor in all criminal cases, not just sexual offenses. 由新南威尔士州判刑理事会和Harrison James等幸存者倡导者推动的改革旨在减少受害者创伤和解决系统性的不平等,因为较富有或更有影响力的个人往往受益于有利的性格介绍。 The reform, driven by the NSW Sentencing Council and survivor advocates like Harrison James, aims to reduce victim trauma and address systemic inequities, as wealthier or more influential individuals often benefit from favorable character references. 其他因素,如缺乏事先定罪和康复潜力等,仍将予以考虑。 Other factors like lack of prior convictions and rehabilitation potential will still be considered. 这一变化反映了一种更广泛的转变,即把受害者在司法系统中的经历放在优先位置。 The change reflects a broader shift toward prioritizing victims’ experiences in the justice system.
