Experience of psychological trauma is correlated with violent offending, with exposure reported for most offenders entering the criminal justice system. The practice of trauma-informed sentencing recognises this complex and consistent relationship, and endeavours to respond in a way that avoids re-traumatisation and reduces harm to offenders and victims. Trauma-informed approaches to offenders improve safety in custodial settings, enhance prospects of correctional rehabilitation and recovery from mental illness and promote the health and welfare of staff working with offenders. This quantitative pilot study examines the identification and impact of trauma – as recorded in sentencing decisions – for homicide perpetrators in Victoria, with particular attention to trauma-informed sentencing and whether or not gender makes a difference. Traumatic experiences were described in a high proportion of cases but only explicitly recognised in a minority. Trauma-informed sentencing recommendations were rare. Collaboration between clinical and legal professionals to inform and enhance trauma-informed procedures is recommended.

对严重暴力犯罪者的创伤知情量刑:以性别视角探索司法处置

心理创伤的经历与暴力犯罪有关,据报道,大多数进入刑事司法系统的犯罪者都曾遭受过心理创伤。以创伤为依据的量刑实践认识到这种复杂而一致的关系,并努力以一种避免再次创伤并减少对罪犯和受害者的伤害的方式作出回应。对罪犯采取创伤知情的方法可以提高拘留场所的安全性,提高矫正康复和精神疾病康复的前景,并促进与罪犯一起工作的工作人员的健康和福利。这项定量试点研究检查了维多利亚州凶杀案肇事者的创伤的识别和影响(如量刑决定中记录的那样),特别关注以创伤为依据的量刑以及性别是否有所作为。创伤经历在高比例的案例中被描述,但仅在少数案例中得到明确承认。以创伤为依据的量刑建议很少见。建议临床和法律专业人员之间的合作,以告知和加强创伤知情程序。
