Description
Sentencing and Criminal Justice by Andrew Ashworth and Rory Kelly is a comprehensive guide to major developments in sentencing law, practice and theory. The book explores key issues such as the constitutional position of the Sentencing Council, proportionality, and the sentencing of BAME offenders and women offenders.
It welcomes the new Sentencing Code, introduced as the Sentencing Act 2020, and critically examines the government's plans for sentencing reform, set out in the 2020 White Paper A Smarter Approach to Sentencing. The book provides essential reading for courses on sentencing, criminal justice and criminal law.
With its focus on scrutiny of Sentencing Council guidelines and wider criminal justice context, this revised edition is a valuable resource for anyone studying or working in the field of sentencing and criminal justice.
