The Oxford Monographs On Criminal Law And Justice series aims to
cover all aspects of criminal law and procedure including criminal
evidence. the scope of the series is wide, encompassing both
practical and theoretical works. Series Editor: Professor Andrew
Ashworth, Vinerian Professor of English Law, All Souls College,
Oxford. This volume is a thematic collection of essays on
sentencing theory by leading writers. The essays fall into three
groups. Part I considers the underlying justifications for the
imposition of punishment by the State, and examines the
relationship between victims, offenders and the State. Part II
addresses a number of areas of sentencing policy that have given
rise to particular difficulty, such as the sentencing of drug
offenders, the rationale for discounting sentences for multiple
offenders, the existence of special sentencing for young offenders,
and cases where the injury done to the victim is of a different
magnitude from what might have been expected. Part III raises
various questions about the unequal impact on offenders of
different sentencing measures, and examines the extent to which
sentences should be adjusted to take account of these different
impacts and of broader social inequalities. This volume is
dedicated to Professor Andrew von Hirsch, whose continuing work on
sentencing theory provided the stimulus for the collection.
