Sentencing: A Reference Handbook offers a complete overview of the
complex sentencing procedures devised by the federal government and
each of the 50 states. From the Code of Hammurabi (1800 BC) to the
present, Sentencing: A Reference Handbook follows the historical
evolution of the process of criminal punishment, then focuses on
the U.S. judicial system to show how American sentencing laws have
changed in response to surges of different types of crime, or to
other factors such as prison overcrowding. To help readers
understand the complex issue of criminal sentencing, this
informative volume describes the major sentencing procedures used
in American courts (determinate, indeterminate, guidelines-based,
and mandatory), highlighting the merits and flaws of each with
well-documented cases and examples. Coverage includes a range of
contentious issues, including the disproportionate application of
the death penalty, sex offender laws, punishing the addicted and
the mentally ill, and balancing punishment with rehabilitation.
