This book examines the process and purpose of sentencing in the
criminal justice system, beyond the confines of its legalistic
aspects. Sentencing is the process that concludes any criminal
trial that ends with the defendant being convicted, and any hearing
in which a defendant pleads guilty. Those convicted of crime have
been subject to sentencing as the method of imposing a punishment
for their offences since the earliest existence of anything we
would recognise as a criminal justice system. Yet the rationale
behind sentencing, and the process by which it happens, has long
been viewed through a traditional lens. In contrast, this book
considers not just the process by which a Judge arrives at a
numerical sentence of months in custody or the amount of a fine,
but the wider meanings and effects of sentencing, as seen through
the lens of various ideas of social justice. The book will appeal
to students, academics, and legal practitioners who wish to
consider a different perspective on the well-known and
well-researched, but often shifting, area of sentencing.
