Book Description
This volume covers what students, scholars, practitioners, and policy makers need to know about how sentencing really works, what a half century's reforms have and have not accomplished, how sentencing processes can be made fairer, and how sentencing outcomes can be made more just. Its writers are among America's leading scholarly specialists--often the leading specialist--in their fields.
Clearly and accessibly written, American Sentencing is ideal for teaching use in seminars and courses on sentencing, courts, and criminal justice. Its authors' diverse perspectives shed light on these issues, making it likely the single, most authoritative source of information on the state of sentencing in America today.
