Reviews

“This edited volume brings together many of the leading scholars in criminal justice and law and offers an authoritative and insightful exploration of recent sentencing research in England and Wales. … offers a remarkable range of scholarly insights into current sentencing practices in England and Wales, and it is highly recommended. It will be of particular interest to policy-makers and those probation/justice practitioners who currently work in the court setting or who prepare court reports.” (Mike Guilfoyle, Probation Journal, Vol. 64 (1), March, 2017)
