Description

This is a valuable collection of essays on sentencing, and comes at a particularly opportune time because of recent legislative activity in this area; students of sentencing are having to relearn the statutory framework of sentencing and they will find a wealth of valuable and clear information here. I am not aware of any other source that provides both an up-to-date description of sentencing law and practices while pointing readers in the direction of larger theoretical debates.
