4—Secondary sentencing purposes
(1) The secondary purposes for sentencing a defendant for an offence are as follows:
(a) to ensure that the defendant—
(i) is punished for the offending behaviour; and
(ii) is held accountable to the community for the offending behaviour;
(b) to publicly denounce the offending behaviour;
(c) to publicly recognise the harm done to the community and to any victim of the offending behaviour;
(d) to deter the defendant and others in the community from committing offences;
(e) to promote the rehabilitation of the defendant.
(2) Nothing about the order in which the secondary purposes are listed in subsection (1)
implies that any 1 of those secondary purposes is to be given greater weight than any other secondary purpose.
