Every modern state sentences convicted offenders for their crimes.
But what justifies the imprisonment of democratic citizens and how
do we determine the severity of sentences? Does the theory of
punishment closely connect with its practice? Should we support one
purpose for sentencing or multiple purposes? Or should we reject
sentencing in favour of alternatives to imprisonment? This volume
brings together classic journal articles on sentencing selected
from the work of leading, international figures in the field to
address these controversial issues. Sentencing is examined from
various critical perspectives, including the relation of theory and
practice, the Model Penal Code and development of sentencing
guidelines, the link between sentencing and emotions, punitive
restoration, and sentencing alternatives such as restorative
justice.
