Description

Sentencing in Australia is a leading text in this area of the law. In this 11th edition, the work has been recast to explain the complex nuances of sentencing principle and practice in a manner which enables sentencing law to be understood from an academic as well as a practical perspective. Sentence appeals constitute the vast majority of the work of appellate courts and this title provides a thorough, coherent, and much needed explication of this complex area, which often involves a wide range of interacting and sometimes competing factors.

The 11th edition develops and significantly updates the content relating to:

  • criminal sanctions;
  • sentencing decision-making;
  • mitigating factors;
  • the sentencing of First Nation offenders;
  • up-to-date review of all of the important sentencing decisions.

This text is ideal for practitioners who need a ready answer to general sentencing questions and is an excellent teaching tool providing law students with essential information about sentencing law.
