Punishing Criminals is about sentencing theory and policy and the
attempt to identify punishments other than imprisonment. Davies
argues for the need to develop more credible and effective
community-based intermediate sanctions that have the confidence of
the public and the officials in the criminal system. He shows how
focus groups can be used to improve the process of consultation. He
sees the need to locate sentencing policy decisions within the
wider context of the criminal justice process and presents
empirical evidence from ten years study of the California criminal
justice system. He sets out a denunciatory-retributive rationale
for punishment which links sentencing aims with a community's
confidence in different forms of punishment.
