Description

Sentencing disparity has become a primary concern of legislators and criminal justice planners across America. This valuable book examines contemporary assumptions about the nature and meaning of disparity. 'It is sometimes difficult on this side of the Atlantic to keep abreast with such changes. This work is an invaluable source of information for this purpose...books such as this are to be welcomed.' -- Kingston Law Review, April 1983
