Publisher's Synopsis
Sentencing is a topic of enduring public interest and, not infrequently, one of considerable controversy. Yet it is also a topic that has traditionally received scant attention in academic and professional legal education, although that is slowly changing. Criminal law practitioners, present and future, need to be well versed on sentencing law and practice, especially now that the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal have begun to issue guideline judgments on the sentencing of particular offences, while the Sentencing Guidelines and Information Committee established under the Judicial Council Act 2019 is charged with developing formal guidelines.
