This book provides an accessible and systematic restatement of the
desert model for criminal sentencing by one of its leading academic
exponents. The desert model emphasises the degree of seriousness of
the offender's crime in deciding the severity of his punishment,
and has become increasingly influential in recent penal practice
and scholarly debate. It explains why sentences should be based
principally on crime-seriousness, and addresses, among other
topics, how a desert-based penalty scheme can be constructed; how
to gauge punishments' seriousness and penalties' severity; what
weight should be given to an offender's previous convictions; how
non-custodial sentences should be scaled; and what leeway there
might be for taking other factors into account, such as an
offender's need for treatment. The volume will be of interest to
all those working in penal theory and practice, criminal sentencing
and the criminal law more generally.
