I don't know which of those background influences are admissible in sentencing. But if one (race) were to be treated fundamentally different from others, I'd want to see some credible evidence to support why it's fundamentally different and more egregious than the others. And some thought given to the outcomes of such a policy (such as the effect on the victims on crime in those communities).
