Sentencing Serious Sex Offenders: How Judges Decide when Discretion Is Wide

Sentencing Serious Sex Offenders: How Judges Decide when Discretion Is Wide

Addressing a lack of high-quality sentencing information in Ireland, this important book explores the factors that influence judges to impose a sentence of long-term imprisonment in sexual offence cases. The book is designed to be used in the classroom and the court, as well as providing a solid evidence base to inform policy-makers.
