Self-defense: if the crime is committed in defense of life.
|
|
Necessity: The action is taken to prevent a greater threat.
|
|
Repentance: admission of guilt and cooperation with authorities.
|
|
Inexperience (ignorance): If the offender has no previous offenses or does not understand the rules (e.g. new player), the punishment may be replaced by training or a warning. Applies only to minor and minor-moderate offenses
|
|
Effect:
|
|
The punishment is reduced by one level (for example, an average violation is considered light-average).
|
|
|
|
2. Aggravating circumstances
|
|
Recidivism: repeat commission of a crime.
|
|
Cultural aspect: if the crime violates the canons of religion, traditions or laws of a specific race/faction, this is taken into account (for example, desecration of a shrine).
|
|
Presence of victims: If the crime resulted in serious injury, death, or destruction of important objects.
|
|
Complicity in collusion: group participation in a violation.
|
|
|
|
Effect:
|
|
The punishment in the current category is increased.
|
|
3. Extremely aggravating circumstances
|
|
Direct assault: If the offender acted openly and threatened others
|
|
Wartime: If the crime is committed during a crisis or war, the punishment is more severe.
|
|
Cruelty: If the crime is committed with particular cruelty or sophistication
|
|
The organizer of the conspiracy: the leader of a criminal group
|
|
Effect:
|
|
Transferring the crime to the next level of complexity.
|
|
|
|
## Section III. The Judicial System
|
|
The case is being considered:
|
|
|
|
Representatives of the guards - for minor and moderate crimes.
|
|
By the Imperial Court or the commander of the guard - for medium and serious crimes. The commander of the guard also has the right to delegate authority to a trusted person.
|
|
|
|
When considering a case, government officials have the right to independently choose a punishment consistent with the category of crimes after taking into account all modifiers, and also if the victim of the crime did not use the right to a duel.
|
|
