A Practical Approach to Sentencing - a completely updated and revised new edition of Emmins on Sentencing - offers the most comprehensive coverage of modern sentencing law, making it an essential purchase for all criminal practitioners. The book provides a clear and complete guide to the sentences which are available to the courts, describing the powers of sentencing which can be used and how they are likely to be exercised in practice by the Crown Court or magistrates' courts. Offering guidance and analysis on sentencing principles and procedures, the book also provides a practical summary of relevant sentencing guidelines and leading guideline decisions. With thorough coverage and explanation of the changes brought about by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act, this new edition is an indispensable guide for criminal practitioners at all levels.
