Cases and Materials on the Law and Policy of Sentencing and Corrections, 9th (American Casebook)

This leading casebook covers both sentencing and correctional law and policy. The cases, statutes, sentencing guidelines, professional standards, articles, statistics, and questions will catalyze debates on such controversial subjects as the sanctioning of drug offenders, the enmeshed penalties (collateral consequences) that attend a conviction, and prisoners' constitutional rights. New coverage of seminal Supreme Court cases, ABA Standards on the Treatment of Prisoners, proposals for restorative sentences and sentencing advocacy from a holistic-defense perspective confirm the value of this resource on very core, and complex, areas of the law.
