Sinopsis

This book examines the lives of the sentenced to argue that âÇÖsentencingâÇÖáshould be re-conceived to consider the human perspective. It combines aárange of modern criminological and legal theories together witháinterviews with prisoners in New South Wales, to examine their livesáduring and beyond completing the terms of imprisonment, for a moreácontinuous and coherent perspective on the process of âÇÖsentencingâÇÖ. This book makes aástrong argument for the practical advantages of listening to the voices ofáthe sentenced and it is therefore a useful tool for the correctionalácommunity engaged in providing services and programmes to reduceárecidivism. A methodological and well-researched text, this book will be ofáparticular interest to scholars of criminal justice and the penal system, as well as policy makers and practitioners.
