This book sets out to explore the role of community penalties in
sentencing, arguing that the absence of a strong intellectual
framework or underpinning has hampered their development in policy
and practice. The research undertaken for this book involved asking
people with a particular stake in criminal justice what the point
of punishment was and what the courts were trying to achieve in
sentencing offenders. It identifies the role of communication as
crucial, and looks at ways in which 'communication' can be used to
make punishment more constructive, exploring the role of
restorative processes and considering the implications of the
custody-community provisions in the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
Reforming Community Penalties is a major contribution to
penological theory and thinking about sentencing and role in
criminal justice, and will be essential reading for all with a
practitioner or academic interest in this subject. Its findings are
likely to play a key role in aiding the development and practice of
community penalties, and enabling them to command greater support,
and to become a genuine alternative to the increasing use of
custody in sentencing and punishment.
