Description

Sentencing: A Social Process: Re-thinking Research and Policy – eBook PDF

Tata’s Sentencing: A Social Process, (PDF) asks how we should make sense of sentencing when, despite huge efforts worldwide to analyze, critique, and reform it, it remains an enigma. Sentencing: A Social Process shows how both research and policy-thinking about sentencing are confined by a paradigm that presumes autonomous individualism, predicting an artificial image of sentencing practices and policy potential. By conceiving of sentencing instead as a social process, the ebook advances new policy and research agendas. Sentencing: A Social Process: Re-thinking Research and Policy offers innovative solutions to classic conundrums, including: rules versus discretion; aggravating versus mitigating factors; punishment versus rehabilitation; individualisation versus consistency; efficient technologies versus the quality of justice; and ways of reducing imprisonment.
