Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides students and practitioners with a comprehensive and current guide to the fundamentals of the criminal law in Queensland and Western Australia. It also has direct application in other Code jurisdictions, such as Tasmania. In Western Australia, there has been a major restructure of procedural aspects of the state's criminal law, through the repeal of the Justices Act 1902 and many provisions in the Criminal Code. These were replaced by other statutes including the Criminal Procedure Act 2004, the Criminal Appeals Act 2004 and the Criminal Investigation Act 2006. This legislation has introduced more streamlined procedures. The Criminal Code in Western Australia was also amended to more succinctly provide for circumstance where a person may be convicted of an offence as an alternative to that which was the subject of the initial charge. In Queensland, statutory changed have been less extensive. However, a significant amendment relates to the double jeopardy rules so that, in certain circumstances where there is fresh and compelling evidence, a person acquitted of a crime may be ordered by the Court of Appeal to be retried. These case law and statutory developments all have been incorporated into this 7th edition.

Download or read book Principles of Sentencing written by Geraldine Mackenzie and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sentencing in all Australian jurisdictions is now largely governed by legislation which prescribes some basic guidelines and principles. At the same time, the High Court and the State appeal courts have been more active in developing a sentencing jurisprudence, effectively standardising many of the core principles of sentencing law.However, judges and magistrates retain a wide discretion in almost every case, and lawyers argue many different, often disparate and sometimes inherently complex, factors.The authors of this book burrow through the maze of developing sentencing law to isolate, explain and critique the principles which operate across and between jurisdictions. They identify the key themes, analyse examples from the different jurisdictions and examine the exercise of judicial discretion both in the scope of factors that may be taken into account and in the choice of sanctions.
