The politics of criminal sentencing has recently crystallised
around the issue of whether and how a system of structured
sentencing should inform judicial approaches to punishing
criminals. Increasingly, structured sentencing guidelines are being
introduce to frame judicial discretion. This volume is the first to
examine the experience in England and Wales in the light of
international developments. This collection of essays begins with a
clear and concise history of the guidelines as well as a
description of how they function. Topics addressed include the
effect of guidelines on judicial practice, the role of public
opinion in developing sentencing guidelines, the role of the crime
victim in sentencing guidelines, and the use of guidelines by
practicing barristers. In addition, the international dimension
offers a comparative perspective: the English guidelines are
explored by leading academics from the United States and New
Zealand. Although there is a vast literature on sentencing
guidelines across the United States, the English guidelines have
attracted almost no attention from scholars. As other jurisdictions
look to introduce more structure to sentencing, the English scheme
offers a real alternative to current US schemes. Contributors
include practicing lawyers, legal and socio-legal academics, and
also scholars from several other countries including New Zealand
and the United States, providing a multidisciplinary and
cross-jurisdictional approach to sentencing. This book will be of
interest to academics from law, sociology and criminology, legal
practitioners, and indeed anyone else with an interest in
sentencing, around the world.
