The Lived Sentence: Rethinking Sentencing, Risk and Rehabilitation

Despatched in 4 to 6 days.

This book examines the lives of the sentenced to argue that 'sentencing' should be re-conceived to consider the human perspective.

It combines a range of modern criminological and legal theories together with interviews with prisoners in New South Wales, to examine their lives during and beyond completing the terms of imprisonment, for a more continuous and coherent perspective on the process of 'sentencing'.

This book makes a strong argument for the practical advantages of listening to the voices of the sentenced and it is therefore a useful tool for the correctional community engaged in providing services and programmes to reduce recidivism. A methodological and well-researched text, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminal justice and the penal system, as well as policy makers and practitioners.
