VIC Penalties & Sentencing – Sentencing Options
Being found guilty of a criminal offence can be a stressful and uncertain experience. One of the most important questions for a person facing sentencing is what penalty the court may impose.
In Victoria, courts have a range of sentencing options available depending on the nature of the offence, the circumstances of the offender, and any factors that may support a more lenient outcome. The sentence imposed can have a significant impact on your future, employment, finances, and personal life.
