This comprehensive book delves into the intricate process and profound purpose of sentencing within the criminal justice system, extending beyond its mere legalistic confines. Sentencing serves as the final step in a criminal trial, following a defendant's conviction, and during hearings where a defendant pleads guilty. It has been a longstanding practice since the earliest emergence of a criminal justice system to impose punishment on individuals convicted of crimes through the mechanism of sentencing. However, the rationale behind sentencing and the manner in which it transpires have traditionally been viewed through a narrow lens.
In contrast, this book takes a broader and more holistic approach, exploring the broader meanings and profound effects of sentencing as seen through the diverse lenses of various social justice ideologies. It goes beyond the mere numerical calculation of months in custody or the amount of a fine, delving into the deeper significance and implications of sentencing for individuals, communities, and society as a whole.
The book is designed to appeal to a wide range of readers, including students, academics, and legal practitioners who seek to explore a different perspective on the well-known and extensively researched, yet constantly evolving, field of sentencing. By examining the broader social and ethical dimensions of sentencing, this book offers valuable insights and perspectives that can contribute to a more informed and nuanced understanding of the criminal justice system.
