Recenzje

Sentencing and Sanctions in Western Countries is an outstanding comparative study ... many thought-provoking issues raised ... It will, no doubt become an essential reference point for anyone interested in the complex, somewhat tortuous relationship between sentencing policy and crime and punishment.
