Addiction is one of the leading contributing factors in the commission of offences in Western Australia. Acknowledging and taking steps to address underlying reasons for offending is looked upon favourably by the courts. It demonstrates that the offender has taken responsibility for their offending and that by virtue of the offender’s efforts at rehabilitation they present a lower risk of re-offending.
Rehabilitation is a powerful mitigating factor. In many cases where a term of imprisonment is on the cards, attending regular drug and/or alcohol counselling or undergoing residential rehabilitation can mean the difference between going to jail and a non-custodial outcome.
