PRE-SENTENCE REPORT
Offender’s Version Ms. Nahol is guilty with frivolity. Frivolity can be a crime if the
perpetrator foresees the possibility of death, but without sufficient reason
for this, counts on its prevention. At the same time, the guilty person can
consciously count on his own strength, the actions of other persons, any
specific circumstances. He deliberately violates certain precautionary
rules. These may be actions contrary to the given science or professional
rules, prohibited by law, but not a crime, as well as in the case. Ms Nahol
is a person foresees the possibility of socially dangerous consequences of
his act, but arrogantly counts on their prevention. With carelessness, a
person does not foresee the possibility of socially dangerous
consequences of his act, although it should have been and could have
foreseen them. In most cases, Based on the rule of law, proof of guilt in
case of criminal arrogance should consist in establishing the obligation to
foresee the consequences (objective criterion) and the ability of a
particular person to such foresight (subjective criterion). According to
most scholars, an objective criterion is normative in nature, which implies
that any person who violates the precautionary rules existing in society
"must foresee the possible socially dangerous consequences of this
violation." It is easy to notice that there is a clash with another
presumption, very convenient for practice, but bearing the potential for
innocent responsibility. The person’s prediction of the possibility of
socially dangerous consequences of his act is the intellectual element of
criminal frivolity, and the arrogant calculation without sufficient reason to
prevent them is his volitional element (Lumencandela nd.).
Criminal Record Ms. Nahol has been involved in the criminal justice system since she was
14, when she was adjudicated for car theft, for which she was placed on
juvenile probation. However, she violated her probation, however, upon
reinstatement of the probation, she successfully completed a 36-month
probational term. As an adult, Ms. Nahol has been sentenced three
previous times, as an adult, for various crimes including shoplifting,
burglary and possession of a controlled substance. She successfully
completed her probation for these offenses one year ago. Ms. Nahol
states that she stole the car when she was 14 because she wanted her
friends to think that she was cool and not a nerd.

Current Personal
History
Ms. Nahol has her high school diploma; she has not spoken to any of her
family members in more than a year. But states that she is very close
friends who let her crash at their house anytime she wants. She spends
her time thinking about her future and is interested in earning her degree
in criminal justice from Strayer University and after obtaining her degree
she wants to be a juvenile probation officer.
Recommendation After completing five years in prison, Ms. Nahol should receive
appropriate rehabilitation services. Ms. Nahol, when rehabilitated
properly could become law abiding citizen. Her criminal acts are due to
her inability to control her aspirations and her impatience. If rehabilitated
through social training, she will be not only a law abiding citizen but also
a prospective juvenile probation officer
During probation, it is recommended that Ms. Nahol be trained on values
such as patience, humility and love. This is because her crime behavior is
attributable to pride. The volitional moment of criminal frivolity consists
in an unreasonable, without sufficient reason, arrogant (frivolous)
calculation of the prevention of socially dangerous consequences
(Atkinson, 2005). This feature of the volitional content of frivolity is due
to the viciousness of the person’s intellectual activity, an incorrect
assessment of her strength, factors and other circumstances, which, in her
opinion, should have prevented the onset of socially dangerous
consequences (Steube, 2016). By virtue of his misconception regarding
the true nature of factors and circumstances, a person chooses a socially
dangerous way of fulfilling his intentions, being confident that she will be
able to avoid the onset of criminal consequences.
