Description

This leading casebook on sentencing law and policy includes cases, statutes, court rules, sentencing guidelines, professional standards, articles, information on other countries’ practices, a sample presentence investigation report, research findings, and questions designed to provoke lively debates. The book spans such topics as plea bargaining, rights during sentencing, aggravating and mitigating sentencing factors, community sentencing options, the death penalty, application of the Eighth Amendment in noncapital cases, back-end prison-release mechanisms, probation and parole revocation, and the enmeshed penalties (collateral consequences) that attend a conviction. Expanded or new coverage of provisions of the Model Penal Code: Sentencing, restorative justice, proposed reforms to plea bargaining and parole systems, sentences for crimes committed when a juvenile or “emerging adult,” and other subjects accentuates this book’s value on a core area of the law.
