THE FIRST EDITION OF THIS BOOK, PUBLISHED IN 1970, HAS BECOME A STANDARD REFERENCE FOR JUDGES, BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS, EDUCATORS, AND LAW STUDENTS, PROVIDING READERS WITH AN ESSENTIAL STATEMENT OF SENTENCING PRINCIPLES AS WELL AS DETAILED ACCOUNTS OF NUMEROUS SENTENCING DECISIONS. THE SECOND EDITION FOLLOWS THE CHAPTER ARRANGEMENT OF THE FIRST, BUT THE CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REWRITTEN. ILLUSTRATIVE CASES HAVE BEEN UPDATED, AND A NEW CHAPTER ON FINES AND FINANCIAL ORDERS--COMPENSATION ORDERS, RESTITUTION ORDERS, ORDERS DEPRIVING THE OFFENDER OF PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND ORDERS TO PAY COSTS--HAS BEEN ADDED. THE BOOK COVERS THE FRAMEWORK OF SENTENCING POLICY; THE TARIFF (PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE LENGTHS OF PRISON SENTENCES FOR SPECIFIC OFFENSES); INDIVIDUALIZED MEASURES AND OTHER SENTENCES (NONCUSTODIAL MEASURES, SENTENCES FOR YOUNG OFFENDERS AND FOR MENTALLY DISORDERED OFFENDERS, EXTENDED SENTENCES, FINES AND FINANCIAL ORDERS, DISQUALIFICATION FROM DRIVING, RECOMMENDATION FOR DEPORTATION); AND SENTENCING PROCEDURES.
