This innovative volume explores a fundamental issue in the field of
sentencing: the factors which make a sentence more or less severe.
All sentencing systems allow courts discretion to consider
mitigating and aggravating factors, and many legislatures have
placed a number of such factors on a statutory footing. Yet many
questions remain regarding the theory and practice of mitigation
and aggravation. Drawing on legal and sociological perspectives and
examining mitigation and aggravation in various jurisdictions, the
essays provide practical illustrations of specific factors as well
as theoretical justifications. After the foreword by Andrew von
Hirsch, a number of contributors address broad conceptual issues
raised at sentencing. These contributions are followed by several
empirical chapters including an exploration of personal mitigation
in English courts. The authors are leading scholars from a range of
common law jurisdictions including England and Wales, the United
States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
