I'm convinced that the single most important thing you can do to reduce your punishment risk if you have committed a crime is to report it yourself. Unfortunately, in this day and age you have to be careful how you do that, and that means getting a good lawyer who will support your attempts to come clean and who has good working relationships with the prosecutors.
Once your crime is discovered and reported by someone else, no amount of responsible action you take will ever convince prosecutors that you're doing anything more than trying to make a good impression. And once a crime is reported, prosecutors are often chiefly concerned with getting the maximum possible conviction.
