The court may impose any sentence within the range, specifying the period of total confinement, partial confinement, community supervision, community service work, or the value of a fine. An exceptional sentence may be imposed, but the SRA requires explicit reasons to support these sentences both to make the criminal justice system accountable to the public and to allow a meaningful appellate review. While many of the factors that a judge may consider in imposing an exceptional sentence come directly from the statute itself, such as deliberate cruelty, particular vulnerability of the victim, or major drug offenses, other factors have been developed by the courts. These include multiple offenses or victims; trust, confidence, or fiduciary responsibility; defendant's state of mind; invasion of privacy; sophistication and planning; and failure to walk away. The author concludes that trial court judges appear to be turning to the sentencing enhancement statutes as ways of avoiding the strictures imposed by the SRA. Furthermore, Washington appellate courts seem willing to uphold any factor which both has a logical basis and which has not previously been factored into the standard sentencing range. 98 notes and 28 appendixes
