Summary, etc. | There has long been a need for a book which explains clearly (i) the general nature of all punishments and the other orders a court may make when dealing with an offender, (0) the statutory restrictions on each type of order and (ii) the guidelines given by the courts (in particular the Court of Appeal) on when and for what type of offender/offence a particular type of sentence should be passed.<br/><br/>This new book on sentencing provides both the practitioner and student with a practical guide to the types of sentence available to the courts. By explaining the powers of sentencing available to the courts and how they are likely, in practice, to be exercised, the author is able to show a sentencing pattern for common types of crime.<br/><br/>The very complexity of sentencing powers means that students and practitioners have to keep abreast with the changes. This book sets out in a clear and concise manner the effects that recent developments such as youth custody sentences, part-suspended sentences and community service orders have. Sentencing is about the way courts deal with a person after he has pleaded guilty or been found guilty-in other words, it is about what happens from the moment when a person charged with an offence ceases to be merely 'the accused' and becomes 'the offender.<br/><br/>About the author:<br/><br/>Christopher Emmins practised for four years as a barrister, and is now a senior lecturer on criminal procedure at the Inns of Court School of Law. His first book, "A Practical Approach to Criminal Procedure" quickly established itself as a major textbook in the area, and is now recommended reading at the Council of Legal Education and many universities and polytechnics in the UK. The combination of having practised and taught means that he deals in a clear and concise manner with the problem areas that students and practitioners find difficult. |
