On 3 September 1996, Bill C-41 was proclaimed in force,
initiating one significant step in the reform of sentencing and
parole in Canada. This is the first book that, in addition to
providing an overview of the law, effectively presents a
sociological analysis of the legal reforms and their ramifications
in this controversial area.
The commissioned essays in this collection cover such crucial
issues as options and alternatives in sentencing, patterns revealed
by recent statistics, sentencing of minority groups, Bill C-41 and
its effects, conditional sentencing, and the structure and
relationship between parole and sentencing are clearly presented.
An introduction, editorial comments beginning each chapter, and a
concluding chapter draw the essays together resulting in a timely,
comprehensive and extremely readable work on this critical
topic.
Broad in scope and perspective, this major new socio-legal study
of the law of sentencing will be illuminating to students, members
of the legal profession, and the general reader.
