Recensioner i media

'Sentencing is one of the key parts of the Criminal Justice System. Ashworth's scholarly exposition of the context of sentencing, and of the many factors which influence the sentences that are passed, offers a very readable account of this complex subject. It is a 'must-read' text for all students of sentencing.' Peter Hungerford-Welch, City University London
