Sentencing is the process through which the legitimacy of
punishment is declared and justified. However, it is increasingly
portrayed as a social activity which should be more responsive to
the pluralistic needs and values of individuals and communities in
contemporary society. It will therefore have to adapt to an array
of different perceptions of what justice is and how it should be
delivered, as well as different sensitivities and emotional
responses to sentencing processes and outcomes. At a time when
fundamental questions are being asked about the relevance of
existing forms of punishment in contemporary society, Sentencing
argues for a profound normative understanding of the relationship
between sentencing and its perception by citizens - vital if we are
to fully comprehend the nature and significance of punishment, and
the particular challenges it faces as a force for social cohesion.
Henham explores this theme by focusing on key areas of debate
within the field: the treatment of gender and race in sentencing
the future role of sentencing in criminal justice governance the
development of new criteria for evaluating sentencing within a more
socially-inclusive framework. Henham suggests that a greater focus
on the relationship between penal ideology and the impact of
sentencing in the wider community is essential for effective future
policy-making in this area. Sentencing will be useful for both
undergraduate and postgraduate students of law, criminology,
criminal justice and sociology, as well as for academics and
criminal justice policymakers.
