Elevated SentencingThe scope of the crime(s) committed, or repeated negative behavior, warrant the charge be elevated to a higher offence for punishment in increments of one level per instance.[1] For the purposes of this Modifier, Corporate and Security crimes escalate to immediate demotion. Capital crimes escalate to execution. Crimes do not stack across tiers; only the highest crime is used at any given point. Crimes of the same tier may escalate, and only one crime per incident may be applied: the highest; this means that one moderate crime and one major crime will always prefer the sentence of a major crime. Crimes committed on a mass scale, no matter how minor, are not the same as a single crime of the same type, and should be elevated by one level for multiple affected areas, or two for a large portion of the station. These should stack. The intent of this is to elevate sentencing for subsequent trips to the brig, to prevent cases where people bounce off the brig over and over without being able to receive a definitive punishment. If your usage of this modifier conflicts with the intent listed above, you're probably misusing it. |
- ↑ One instance is the space between trips to the brig.
