Sentencing Policies and Practices in the 21st Century focuses on
the evolution and consequences of sentencing policies and
practices, with sentencing broadly defined to include plea
bargaining, judicial and juror decision making, and alternatives to
incarceration, including participation in problem-solving courts.
This collection of essays and reports of original research explores
how sentencing policies and practices, both in the United States
and internationally, have evolved, explores important issues raised
by guideline and non-guideline sentencing, and provides an overview
of recent research on plea bargaining in the United States,
Australia, and the United Kingdom. Other topics include the role of
criminal history in sentencing, the past and future of capital
punishment, strategies for reducing mass incarceration,
problem-solving courts, and restorative justice practices. Each
chapter summarizes what is known, identifies the gaps in the
research, and discusses the theoretical, empirical, and policy
implications of the research findings. The volume is grounded in
current knowledge about the specific topics, but also presents new
material that reflects the thinking of the leading minds in the
field and that outlines a research agenda for the future. This is
Volume 4 of the American Society of Criminology's Division on
Corrections and Sentencing handbook series. Previous volumes
focused on risk assessment, disparities in punishment, and the
consequences of punishment decisions. The handbooks provide a
comprehensive overview of these topics for scholars, students,
practitioners, and policymakers.
