The Blackstone's Guide series offers concise and accessible books that cover the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published soon after enactment, they provide expert commentary on the scope, extent, and effects of the legislation accompanied by a full copy of the Act itself. The Sentencing Act 2020 is the culmination of over four years of work to identify the myriad legislative provisions that form part of the sentencing process and produce a coherent consolidation that would stand as a Code, capable of being treated and developed as a single source.

The purpose of the Code is to draw together a single statement of the law that stipulates what happens to an offender who is convicted of, or has pleaded guilty to, a criminal offense. This includes the general principles of sentencing law, the orders a court may or must impose as a result of an offender's plea, conviction, or breach of an existing sentence, and any related case management functions. It represents a major landmark for the criminal justice system in England and Wales.

This Guide provides an essential bridge for practitioners from the previous patchwork of sentencing procedure to the new unified Code and includes valuable checklists and tables that map the previous statutory basis for all key elements of the Code to the new Act. The enhanced digital product (included) provides both offline and online access wherever you are on OUP LawReader. Synchronize your notes and bookmarks across all of your devices, and take advantage of the quick and simple search function to find what you need, whenever you need it.
