Day fines, as a pecuniary sanction, have a great potential to
reduce inequality in the criminal sentencing system, as they impose
the same relative punishment on all offenders irrespective of their
income. Furthermore, with correct implementation, they can
constitute an alternative sanction to the more repressive and not
always efficient short-term prison sentences. Finally, by
independently expressing in the sentence the severity and the
income of the offender, day fines can increase uniformity and
transparency of sentencing. Having this in mind, almost half of the
European Union countries have adopted day fines in their criminal
justice system. For the first time, this book makes their findings
accessible to a wider international audience. Aimed at scholars,
policy makers and criminal law practitioners, it provides an
opportunity to learn about the theoretical advantages, the
practical challenges, the successes and failures, and ways to
improve.
