Whether the offender is a "first-time" or repeat offender,

Whether the offender was an accessory (helping the main offender) or the main offender,

Whether the offender committed the crime under great personal stress or duress

Whether anyone was hurt, and whether the crime was committed in a manner that was unlikely to result in anyone being hurt,

Whether the offender was particularly cruel to a victim, or particularly destructive, vindictive, etc.
(sometimes) whether the offender is genuinely contrite or remorseful.
