                                                                Introduction

 

 

This study examines the differences in criminal sentences, between men and women, decided by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and it’s provincial counterparts, for murders and major assaults. All murder and major assault cases which include the duration of sentences, from the Canlii database, are included. In some categories the lack of data as to sentences may mean exclusion of as many as 30 % of convictions listed. Only a conviction for the major offence which an offender is charged is included. No cases for which new trials have been ordered on appeal are included. Pretrial custody has been included in the sentence on a 2 for 1 basis unless the ruling specifies otherwise. 2 for 1 pretrial custody credits are standard amoungst the judiciary, and including pretrial gives a better measure of actual relative sentences. Conditional sentences are treated as equivalent to prison terms. Another depiction could have been adopted and justified for conditional sentences, but consistent treatment is more important for the purposes of this study. Specific cases used for each province can be found in the appendixes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dangerous Offender

 

 

Dangerous offender legislation is intended to provide long term protection to the public from some of the worst repeat criminals. A dangerous offender designation brings an indeterminate sentence with periodic review. No cases declaring a female as a dangerous offender could be found. The database evaluated contained over 20 cases declaring men dangerous offenders. Half a dozen involved men who were described as repeat spousal abusers.

 

 

 

R. v. Neve, 1999 ABCA 206 (CanLII)

 

[1] Lisa Colleen Neve was designated a dangerous offender – the second woman in Canada’s history to have been so designated – and sentenced to an indeterminate jail sentence after having been convicted for a robbery committed when she was 18.

 

According to Crown records, since 1947 (the year in which predecessor dangerous offender legislation first came into effect in Canada) until July 31, 1997, 219 offenders were designated dangerous offenders in Canada, an average of approximately 4 per year. Other data indicates that between 1978 and 1986, that number increased to an average of 7 per year.

 

[293] Accordingly, we dismiss the conviction appeal, allow the appeal of the dangerous offender designation and find that Neve is not a dangerous offender. In all the circumstances, we have concluded that a fit and proper sentence for the robbery is three years imprisonment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Degree Murder

 

 

The worst premeditated murders are sentenced as first degree muder. Since sentences are fixed at life with a minimum of 25 years, all first degree murders in the database are included. Other categories may have exclusions due to sentences being ommitted. No judicial discretion is involved in sentencing with the term fixed.

Average first degree murder sentence  = 25 years minimum

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second Degree Murder

 

 

Second degree murders are generally deemed to be less heinous and do not require the same level of premeditation Sentencing is partially discretionary. There is a 10 year minimum requirement, and then the judge may add additional years of parole ineligibity. Second degree murder charges may sometimes be used by the crown as an included offense, or plea bargain from a difficult to prosecute first degree murder charge.

Manslaughter

 

 

Manslaughter includes murders that were not deliberately planned. Manslaughter sentences are generally the lowest for all murder categories. Lesser charges for some specialized situations may also be available. Criminal negligence causing death is one such alternative which is most often used for fatal driving offenses. The sentences are almost entirely discretionary, though similar cases are supposed to act as a guide for appropriate periods of incarceration. The major prerequisite for manslaughter is that the victims death was not planned or anticipated in advance of the act. No premeditation existed. Manslaughter charges may sometimes be used by the crown as an included offense, or plea bargain from a difficult to prosecute higher murder charge.

Sentences for Murder

 

 

In summary, to compare male and female sentences for murders, a composite measure has been derived, using the minimum sentence for first and second degree murder, and the full sentences for manslaughter.

 

 

 

 

Men

 

 

Average sentence = ( 123 x 25 ) + ( 130 x 13.6 ) + ( 96 x 8.8 ) / 349

 

                              = 5687 / 349

 

                               = 16.3 years

 

 

 

Women

 

 

Average sentence = ( 7 x 25 ) + ( 8 x 14.5 ) + ( 16 x 4.4 ) / 31

 

                              = 361.4 / 31

 

                              = 11.6 years

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attempted Murder

 

 

The most serious assault charges not involving death is attempted murder. It has a relatively low conviction rate because it requires proof of premeditated intent to kill. Convictions, or plea bargains for lesser included assault charges are more often the result. Sentencing is primarily discretionary. In some cases no injuries may occur, and in others the victim may be permanently disfigured or handicapped.

Aggravated Assault

 

 

Aggravated assault includes most of the worst assaults not resulting in death. There are a variety of related and complimentary charges. Sexual assaults and assaults using a weapon are examples. Kidnapping and confinement are also typical accessory charges. Common assault or assault causing bodily harm may be included charges, or used as plea bargains. Maiming and criminal negliegence are also related. Uttering threats or violation of restraiuning orders are also often included in the charges. It is almost uncommon that assault charges occur in isolation.  Often global sentences are imposed. That can make it difficult to identify the exact term of imprisonmement applying just to the aggravated assault charge. Generally an aggravated assault charge is the most serious and other offences are given concurrent sentences. Weapons charges and some others may receive extended consecutive sentences depending on the situation. Where possible specific terms have been isolated from global sentences. Many problems are involved in assessing assault sentences. Often there are multiple charges. 3 assaults that occurred on separate days should possibly be recorded as 3 separate assaults. But that is less clear if a victim was assaulted in one room and then escaped to another where the perpetrator gave pursuit and continued the assault. The database contains both types of example and most every situation in between. Multiple assaults are generally treated similar to global sentences, as a single entry, unless clearly separate. Consisentency of treatment between the sexes may be more important to this comparative study than determining absolute sentence lengths. Finally it should be noted that sentencing is highly discretionary. 14 years is the maximum but that may be exceeeded by aggravating factors such as weapons offenses. Assaults by sexual predators whereby aggravated assault was an included offense or a plea bargain for rape offenses, have typically been excluded.

Spousal Murders and Major Assaults

 

 

Cases of spousal murders and assaults have been noted in the appendixes. Extracting this data produces the following results. Only 1 case of major assault by a female could be found though female spousal murder rates were higher than every category except child assaults and murders. It would either indicate females did commit a high percentage of murders but did not commit major assaults, or that female major assaults were plea bargained to lower charges.

Infanticide

 

 

Cases where children were killed by parents are noted in the appendixes. There are a variety of charges under which offenders were prosecuted, from first degree murder, down to criminal negligence. Women charged specifically with infanticide were found in Alberta and Ontario. Judicial disecretion in sentencing depends on the charge.

Major Child Assaults

 

 

Cases where children were assaulted by parents are noted in the appendixes. Guardians such as step parents and babysitters are included. Assaults by children against their parents are not included. The most common major assault of children was shaking babies. A much higher proportion of aggravated assaults by women against children can be found than against spouses.

In conclusion, murders for which males were convicted exceeded those of females by more than 16 to 1 in both first and second degree murders. The far greater prevalence of female convictions for manslaughter would tend to indicate they were plea bargained to lesser charges. Male and female sentences were necessarily equal for fixed first degree murder convictions. Male sentences were just over 6 % less than females for second degree murder. Female sentences were almost 50 % less for manslaughter , 65 % less for attempted murder, and 55 % less for aggravated assault. Female sentences were 13.5 % less for spousal murders, and the absence of female convictions for major spousal assaults would also tend to indicate they were given plea bargains to lesser charges and therefore received lesser sentences. Female sentences were 60 % less in child killings, and for child assaults. The overall database showed a 12.7 to 1 ratio for male to female convictions. Spousal convictions showed an average of 7.2 male convictions for every female conviction indicating females were more prone to violence directed towards their spouses. 53 % of murders committed by females were against their spouses compared to 38.3 for males. Convictions for violence against children were relatively even though males received longer sentences. It must be concluded that a significant sexual bias favouring females exists in the sentencing of crimes of violence by the Superior Court,.
