| 单词 | Remorse |
| 释义 | 悔意 Contrition or shame. In sentencing the fact that the accused is genuinely remorseful for having committed the offence may be taken into account by the court as a mitigating factor. The extent to which it is relevant in a particular case varies: HKSAR v Tong Fuk Sing [1999] 3 HKLRD 710, 3 HKC 332 (CA). Remorse can be evidenced in a number of ways prior to sentencing, for example, by providing substantial assistance to the authorities in the investigation or prosecution of the offences: A- G v Mutton (CAAR 8/91, unreported). This may appear in various forms such as apology, admission of the offence to the investigating authorities (A-G v Lui Kam Chi [1993] 1 HKC 215 (CA)), voluntary surrender to the authorities (R v So Man-king [1989] 1 HKLR 142 (CA)) restitution to the victim of sums gained from the crime (S-J v Hui Siu Man [1999] 2 HKLRD 236 (CA), as well as the plea of guilty itself (R v Ng Po Wah [1996] 1 HKC 457 (CA)). A person of clear record, from a stable background, who has shown remorse and is unlikely to re-offend is likely to be eligible for a community service order: R v Clarke (Linda) [1982] 3 All ER 232, 1 WLR 1090 (CA). See also Deterrence; Discount of sentence; Guilty plea. 悔恨或感到羞恥。在判刑時，法院可考慮以被告對所犯罪行的真心悔改作為減刑因素。悔意在個別案件的關係性程度相異：HKSAR v Tong Fuk Sing [1999] 3 HKLRD 710, 3 HKC 332 （上訴法庭）。在判刑前，可以數種方法證明有悔意，例如在調查或檢控有關罪行時，向主管當局提供實質的協助：A- G v Mutton（覆核申請1991年第8號，未經彙報）。可以不同的形式出現，例如道歉(R v Ngo Van-thau（刑事上訴1988年第77號，未經彙報），向調查當局承認有關的罪行 (A-G v Lui Kam Chi [1993] 1 HKC 215 （上訴法庭）)，向有關當局自首(R v So Man-king [1989] 1 HKLR 142 （上訴法庭）)，把在有關罪行中獲得的款額復還受害人 (S-J v Hui Siu Man [1999] 2 HKLRD 236 （上訴法庭），及承認控罪本身(R v Ng Po Wah [1996] 1 HKC 457（上訴法庭）)。同案被控人的證供可以是缺乏悔意的若干顯示：R v Wong Wing-keung （CACC 449/95, 未經彙報）。如有清白紀錄及有穩定背景的人已顯示悔意及相當不可能重犯有關罪行，則相當可能被判社會服務令：R v Clarke [1982] 3 All ER 232, 4 Cr App Rep (S) 197。另見 Deterrence; Discount of sentence; Guilty plea。n. |
