Description

Sentencing in Australia is a leading text in this area of the law. In this 10th Anniversary edition the work has been recast to explain the complex nuances of sentencing principles and practice in a manner which enables sentencing law to be understood from an academic as well as 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 tenth edition develops and significantly updates the content relating to:

  • Aggravating and mitigating factors;
  • The principle of proportionality;
  • Criminal sanctions; and 
  • 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.

2. Punishment, sentencing and the nature of criminal sanctions

6. The principle of proportionality

7. The main sentencing objectives: general and specific deterrence, incapacitatio and rehabilitation
