Download or read book Sentencing Guidelines written by Andrew Ashworth and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 1461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The politics of criminal sentencing has recently crystallised around the issue of whether and how a system of structured sentencing should inform judicial approaches to punishing criminals. Increasingly, structured sentencing guidelines are being introduce to frame judicial discretion. This volume is the first to examine the experience in England and Wales in the light of international developments. This collection of essays begins with a clear and concise history of the guidelines as well as a description of how they function. Topics addressed include the effect of guidelines on judicial practice, the role of public opinion in developing sentencing guidelines, the role of the crime victim in sentencing guidelines, and the use of guidelines by practicing barristers. In addition, the international dimension offers a comparative perspective: the English guidelines are explored by leading academics from the United States and New Zealand. Although there is a vast literature on sentencing guidelines across the United States, the English guidelines have attracted almost no attention from scholars. As other jurisdictions look to introduce more structure to sentencing, the English scheme offers a real alternative to current US schemes. Contributors include practicing lawyers, legal and socio-legal academics, and also scholars from several other countries including New Zealand and the United States, providing a multidisciplinary and cross-jurisdictional approach to sentencing. This book will be of interest to academics from law, sociology and criminology, legal practitioners, and indeed anyone else with an interest in sentencing, around the world.

Book excerpt: "Criminal Law in Aotearoa New Zealand is a textbook that sets out and discusses fundamental principles of criminal law, a selection of criminal offences and defences, and the law governing who can be held liable when an offence is committed. Importantly this text locates legal doctrine in the context of the constitutional foundations of the criminal justice system in contemporary Aotearoa, including the collision of two ancient and very different traditions of justice - tikanga Māori and the English common law. After acknowledging the limitations of state law as a vehicle for tikanga and therefore the transformational change that will be required to give expression to Article 2 of Te Tiriti o Waitangi for Māori, the book distils the basic legality principles that should guide the common law development of criminal doctrine in Aotearoa New Zealand going forward. Throughout the book questions are asked about the legal doctrine that is discussed - these questions are aimed at deepening thought about what the shape of the criminal law should be in the unique context of Aotearoa New Zealand"--Publisher information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major new textbook, leading scholars from criminology, history, journalism, law, psychology, sociology and other fields take students and general readers inside New Zealand’s criminal justice system. The authors begin with an introduction to the history and current state of crime, policing and prisons in New Zealand; they then explain the workings of criminal procedure, from evidence to sentencing; and finally they address key current issues such as Maori and the justice system, youth and gangs, psychology and the media. For students and general readers, this book tackles the big questions: How can crime be explained? Is crime rising or falling and if so, why? How do the police operate? How do the courts work? What is the meaning of a ‘life’ sentence? What is the link between crime and mental instability? Why are Maori over-represented in the criminal justice system? How do we deal with youthful offenders? How do judicial miscarriages arise? Do the stories we read about crime in the media reflect reality? And how does justice operate in the criminal underworld? This book is an important new introduction to New Zealand’s criminal justice system – from crime and policing to the courts – aimed at students and general readers.
