(In)Coherence of punishments. Results’ presentation of empirical analyses
Abstract
The incoherence in judicial punishments, if it exists, may
be considered as a form of injustice. The legal system in which
the similarly situated cases are not treated similarly may be
criticized especially from the point of view of the public understanding
the justice idea. The conception of incommensurability
of values has a substantial impact on the law application process.
Because the judges typically assess cases in isolation, there
is no common measure to evaluate the cases and the human
way of thinking is category-bounded the judges are susceptible
to producing incoherent patterns. However it is believed that if
the risk of incoherence is brought to judicial attention, the judges
might well be likely to do better, on this count, than non-lawyers
(Cass Sunstein, Daniel Kahneman, David Schkade, Ilana
Ritov 2001). The article presents an empirical analyses carried out
on the judgements that were performed by the unselected group
of judges in one of the district courts in Lodz.
