Punishing Criminals : Developing Community-based Intermediate Sanctions, Hardback Book

Punishing Criminals : Developing Community-based Intermediate Sanctions Hardback

Part of the Contributions in Criminology and Penology series

Hardback

Description

Punishing Criminals is about sentencing theory and policy and the attempt to identify punishments other than imprisonment.

Davies argues for the need to develop more credible and effective community-based intermediate sanctions that have the confidence of the public and the officials in the criminal system.

He shows how focus groups can be used to improve the process of consultation.

He sees the need to locate sentencing policy decisions within the wider context of the criminal justice process and presents empirical evidence from ten years study of the California criminal justice system.

He sets out a denunciatory-retributive rationale for punishment which links sentencing aims with a community's confidence in different forms of punishment.
