Beskrivning
This revised and updated new edition focuses on major developments in sentencing law, practice and theory. Sentencing in England and Wales is now dominated by Sentencing Council guidelines, and scrutiny of those guidelines is central to this book. Issues of principle are identified and discussed, to include the constitutional position of the Sentencing Council; the meaning of, and challenges to, proportionality; and the sentencing of BAME offenders and women offenders. The book welcomes the new Sentencing Code, introduced as the Sentencing Act 2020, and critically examines the government’s plans for sentencing reform, set out in the 2020 White Paper A Smarter Approach to Sentencing. Throughout the book, sentencing is explored in its wider criminal justice context – making it essential reading for courses on sentencing, criminal justice and criminal law.

Recensioner i media

This book is the best introduction to the English sentencing system for undergraduate and postgraduate students, but it also provides a scholarly analysis of the issues which is of great use to academic researchers (and, indeed, to practitioners and the courts). In particular, the analysis of guidelines, case law and recent academic writing on sentencing theory, law and practice is second to none. The book is clearly written, and extensive references are provided throughout. The authoritative nature of this book, and its value for practitioners in common law jurisdictions outside of England and Wales, is demonstrated by the fact that previous editions of the book have been cited with approval on several occasions by the High Court of Justiciary on Appeal in Scotland. The seventh edition continues this exceptional level of scholarship.
