Summary

What are sentencers' new statutory powers? How are they affected by case law and practice directions? What are their unstated aims and assumptions? What is their effect in real life? Who suffers from discrimination--women, ethnic minorities, the mentally disordered? What is the relevance of public attitudes, stigma, dangerousness? This is the only textbook which sets out to ask and answer all these questions.
