In this book a group of leading authorities in the field address
the key issues surrounding the future of sentencing in Britain, in
the light particularly of the highly influential Halliday Report.
These proposals for reform amount to the single most ambitious and
comprehensive set of proposals for reconstituting the sentencing
system of a common-law country, and include proposals to replace
existing sentencing statutes, the establishment of a sentencing
commission and sentencing guidelines, and the creation of a
sentence review function in the judiciary. As well as addressing
the major issues of the Halliday Report the chapters in this book
go beyond this to explore the broader set of policy problems and
implications which are raised, drawing upon experiences of reform
in other jurisdictions and contexts, particularly that of the USA.
This book will be essential reading for anybody with an interest in
the future of sentencing or the future direction of the criminal
justice system as a whole.
