A more thorough explanation: Discrimination in sentencing refers to the unfair or unequal treatment of individuals based on certain characteristics such as race, gender, religion, or socioeconomic status during the sentencing phase of a criminal case. This can include harsher or more lenient sentencing decisions being made based on these characteristics rather than on the facts of the case or the individual’s actions.
Example: The judge’s decision to impose a harsher sentence on the defendant based on their race was a clear case of discrimination in sentencing.
