The punishment that an offender receives is based on the different ethical perspective of the person doing the sentencing.
The ethical view that a judge takes when they are sentencing a person is what ultimately determines the sentence that the offender will get.
For instance, a man runs red lights and has an accident. He doesn't stop because he is trying to get his wife who is in labor to the hospital.
A judge who believes that the ends justifies the means will give that man a lighter sentence because he was just trying to get his wife proper medical care.
Another judge might impose a heavy sentence because the judge wouldn't look at why the man committed the crime, but how it affected other people.
