Sentencing, Public Opinion, and Criminal Justice Essays in Honour of Julian V Roberts

Roberts is a leading academic authority on sentencing theory, policy, and practice in common law jurisdictions and his work has made a landmark contribution to the analysis and development of sentencing worldwide.
