Sentencing and Sanctions in Western Countries by Michael Tonry
This collection of original essays surveys the evolution of sentencing policies and practices in Western countries over the past twenty-five years. Contributors address plea-bargaining, community service, electronic monitoring, standards of use of incarceration, and legal perspectives on sentencing policy developments, among other topics. Sentencing and Sanctions in Western Countries provides a range of scholars and students excellent cross-national knowledge of sentencing laws and practices, when and why they have changed over time, and with what effects.
Sentencing and Sanctions in Western Countries is an outstanding comparative study.. many thought-provoking issues raised ... It will, no doubt become an essential reference point for anyone interested in the complex, somewhat tortuous relationship between sentencing policy and crime and punishment. * The Howard Journal Vol 41, No. 4, Sept. 2002 *
Richard S. Frase is the Benjamin N. Berger Professor of Criminal Law at the University of Minnesota.
