This book discusses the under-researched relationship between
sentencing and the legitimacy of punishment. It argues that there
is an increasing gap between what is perceived as legitimate
punishment and the sentencing decisions of the criminal courts.
Drawing on a wide variety of empirical research evidence, the book
explores how sentencing could be developed within a more
socially-inclusive framework for the delivery of trial justice. In
the international context, such developments are directly relevant
to the future role of the International Criminal Court, especially
its ability to deliver more coherent and inclusive trial outcomes
that contribute to social reconstruction. Similarly, in the
national context, these issues have a vital role to play in helping
to re-position trial justice as a credible cornerstone of criminal
justice governance where social diversity persists. In so doing the
book should help policy-makers in appreciating the likely
implications for criminal trials of mainstreaming' restorative
forms of justice. Sentencing and the Legitimacy of Trial Justice
firmly ties the issue of legitimacy to the relevant context for
delivering justice'. It suggests a need to develop the tools and
methods for achieving this and offers some novel solutions to this
complex problem. This book will be a valuable resource for graduate
students, academics, practitioners and policy makers in the field
of criminal justice as well as scholars interested in socio-legal
and cross-disciplinary approaches to the analysis of criminal
process and sentencing and the development of theory and
comparative methodology in this area.
