Putting the offender back into sentencing
In recent times judicial sentencing has become harsher. This is in response, at least in part, to the public’s apparent view of mitigation personal to the offender as of little importance, particularly in serious cases. Recent research on factors seen by the public as mitigating is consistent with this. But perhaps humanity in sentencing would emerge if people were given detailed information about cases and felt they were dealing with a real pers…

Sanctions and Severity
The sanction hierarchy as a device for promoting proportionality is an idea entrenched in English sentencing. It is founded on the work of Von Hirsch and Wasik. This article challenges their view. There are three aspects of severity: punitive, correctional and functional severity. The first concerns proportionality between offence seriousness and sanction severity and raises the problem of scaling the quantum of punishment. The sanction hierarchy…
Proportionality, Sentencing and the Multiple Offender
This article develops a numerical framework governing the application of the principle of proportionality to the sentencing of cases comprising multiple separate offences each warranting imprisonment. The solution offered is based on an understanding, formulated by two English lawyers, that in the cumulation of sentence proportionality should be maintained between the seriousness of classes of offence: for example, no number of trivial offences w…
The Framework of Judicial Sentencing
Austin Lovegrove examines the sentencing of offenders appearing on multiple offences and how judges, having fixed a prison sentence for each offence, determine an overall sentence for each offender. Analysing judges' verbal protocols for sentencing problems and sentences for fictitious cases, he is able to offer, first, a model of judicial sentencing in the form of a decision strategy comprising working rules deduced from the given responses of j…

Judges, sentencing, and experimental psychology
This paper is concerned with how experimental psychology ought to be applied to advance judicial sentencing policy and practice. Researchers must conduct studies that will help lawyers address the salient prescriptive issue: The appropriate sentencing policy for particular types of cases and the penalties that particular types of cases ought to attract. Related methodological issues also are considered, and principles that govern the operationali…
