Improvement Of Criminal Scoring And Assessment System From The Perspective Of Utilitarianism

Punishing and reforming criminals is the responsibility assigned to prison authorities by the Criminal Law,balancing prevention and retribution,with reform as the purpose,and preventing recidivism is the goal pursued by punishment.The design of the assessment system contains the profound influence of utilitarianism in order to guide the socialization of criminals.Focusing on a result oriented approach can help achieve prison work,reduce execution costs,and regulate punishment intensity.However,in practice,the transformation work that enriches the concept and level of punishment is gradually becoming rigid,and the originally rich assessment content tends to become formal.The scoring and assessment of criminals is not an abstract expression of the criminal law,but a realistic,continuous and complex management activity.The purpose and expectation of the criminal law can be realized only through the execution technology and content of the prison.utilitarianism itself contains the possibility of seeking quick success and instant benefit.There is a great contrast between the necessity and reality of reform in the execution of punishment,and prisons are prone to returning to the starting point of punishment in the conflict between punishment and education.Punitive labor,which is easy to quantify and investigate,has become the main battlefield for reforming criminals,while educational and cultural reform,which is difficult to quantify,is becoming increasingly weak.This is reflected in the scoring and assessment of criminals.In order to stimulate their enthusiasm for reform and simplify the difficulty of managing criminals,The main assessment content is the completion of tasks by criminals who have been fixed in labor positions for a long time,while the content of education and reform is less practical and heavily formalized.In addition,the work of grading and handling criminals has been stagnant for a long time: the incentive content is conservative and lags behind social development.The modern punishment attribute mainly based on deprivation of freedom is obvious,but reform is a quite thorny problem,which depends on the improvement of the prison assessment system and the level of social participation,and requires long-term construction.It is necessary to sort out and improve the procedures for connecting commutation and parole,based on good scoring and assessment work,and make full use of incentive measures such as graded treatment and leaving prison to visit relatives.Social factors should be widely integrated to provide sustained and moderate stimulation to criminals,and the reform content that is different from punishment should be pushed towards the center of punishment execution.
