Sentencing

At a time when fundamental questions are being asked about the relevance of existing forms of punishment in contemporary society, Sentencing argues for a profound normative understanding of the relationship between sentencing and its perception by citizens. Henham explores this theme by focusing on key areas of debate within the field: the treatment of gender and race in sentencing, the future role of sentencing in criminal justice governance, and the development of new criteria for evaluating sentencing within a more socially-inclusive framework.
