Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine 1) the extent of the room of extenuating circumstances depending on fluctuation of severe punishment orientation (hereinafter called “SPO”) which is in a severely punished trend, 2) the difference of the weight of sentencing, and 3) to investigate SPO and the extent of the room of extenuating circumstances, and generation difference in sentencing judgment. The result shows no difference in the strength of SPO between university students and guardians, whilst it has been proved that the SPO has a strong influence on sentencing judgment, and that the weight of sentencing differs significantly between university students and guardians. The subject cases in this study are the ones of young girls indiscriminately murdered and the ones of caregiver fatigue murders. The result revealed that guardians tend to determine the weight of sentencing, imagining that they become parents of victim children in the former cases, and the latter cases, imagining the time when they are cared by their own children (i.e., perspective talking).
