Answer:

False

Explanation:

The use of mitigating circumstances is mandatory when determining the sentence, not just a suggestion to the judge.

Once the base penalty has been established for a particular crime, the judge considers the mitigating circumstances that reduce the penalty and the aggravating circumstances that may increase to compose the sentence. These must be presented by the lawyers of both parties during the proceedings.

In addition to extenuating circumstances, a sentence takes into account aggravating circumstances. These can increase the penalty time.

How does the growth of worlds population today compare with its growth 100 years ago
EastWind [94]
Today's world population growth compared to the population growth 100 years ago is a big, big difference. The population has doubled many, many times, and even right now the world's population is still skyrocketing. There are several reasons for this. There have been scientific advances in health and medicine. Governments are providing cleaner public drinking water and more sanitary waste removal. With this, people are less likely to get sick. Another reason for rapid population growth is agriculture. Scientists have created newer, better methods to increase the world's food supply, and to make it healthier. They have created method's to protect crops from harmful insects, and to raise crops with less water. This is called the Green Revolution.
