Public outcries and political platforms based on misinformation and
misconceptions about the criminal justice system and current
sentencing practice occur all too often in democratic societies.
Penal Populism, Sentencing Councils and Sentencing Policy attempts
to address this problem by bringing together important
contributions from a number of distinguished experts in the field.
Penal Populism presents theoretical perspectives on the role of the
public in the development of sentencing policy. It places
particular emphasis on the emerging role of sentencing commissions,
advisory councils or panels in a number of English speaking
countries: Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United
Kingdom, Scotland and South Africa. The book explains, expands and
develops the existing literature that looks at public attitudes to
justice and the role that the 'public' can play in influencing
policy. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, Penal Populism
asks the critical questions: should 'public opinion', or
preferably, 'public judgment' be relevant to court decision-making,
to institutional decision-making and to the political process? And
if so, how?
