惯犯比初犯受到更严厉的惩罚，这是几乎所有刑法或量刑指南普遍接受的做法。到目前为止，文献中已经确定的是，有时重犯比初犯受到更严厉的惩罚要好。这一合格的结果似乎与大多数刑法中所采用的不合格做法不相容。本文的贡献在于指出了为什么以前文献中采用的最优威慑框架不能产生不确定的结果，并基于与最近文献中使用的论点不同的论点，为更严厉地惩罚惯犯的做法提供了无条件的理由。(C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.；版权所有。
That repeat offenders are punished more severely than first-time offenders is a generally accepted practice of almost all penal codes or sentencing guidelines. So far, what has been established in the literature is that sometimes it is better to penalize repeat offenders more severely than first-time offenders. This qualified result seems to be incompatible with the unqualified practices followed in most penal codes. The contribution of this article is to point out why the optimal-deterrence framework adopted in the previous literature cannot generate an unqualified result and to provide an unconditional justification for the practice of punishing repeat offenders more severely, based on an argument that is different from those used in the recent literature.
