While these age differences in sentence outcomes appear to thwart norms of judicial impartiality, they also might reflect legitimate sentencing concerns of judges (in areas such as crime propensity, blameworthiness, and even the extra costs needed tojail older defendants). Therefore, an overall pattern of less severe punishment of older defendants (and/or female defendants) may still be warranted
