sufficiently. Some crimes are viewed as serious enough to require an indefinite removal from society by a life sentence, or sometimes capital punishment. It is viewed as a public service to separate these people from the general population, as it is assumed that the nature of the crime or the frequency of violation supersedes the subjective opinion of a judge. Remedying the irregularities in sentencing that arise from judicial discretion is supposed to make sentencing more fair and balanced. In Australia and the United Kingdom, sentencing has been heavily influenced by judicial idiosyncrasies.

The sentencing guidelines applied to the use and sales of drugs. However during this time, discretionary sentencing was still practiced. Therefore, there were different sentences for individuals who were guilty of using prohibited drugs compared to those who sold drugs.

In review of these policies regarding the applications of sentencing, the policy decisions are those that dictate what considerations should affect punishment. The second, which includes factual determinations is the process by which a judge determines whether to apply a particular policy to an offender.
