On observe en outre un adoucissement des peines, une plus grande proportion des contrevenants bénéficiant d’une absolution inconditionnelle (58 p. 100), et un moins grand nombre faisant l’objet d’une amende (8 p. 100).
Leniency in sentence also grew, with a greater proportion (58%) receiving absolute discharges, and fewer (8%) being fined, while the proportion receiving conditional discharge remained about one third of the total dispositions.
