The purpose of sentencing is to give convicted offenders their 'just desserts' and simultaneously provide the community with a sense of justice.
Abstract
In assessing sanctions, judges often have little data to support other than traditional sentencing models. Use of the Criminological Case Evaluation and Sentencing Recommendation provides the judiciary with in-depth background information and offers creative sentencing options. This procedure allows expanded remedial and rehabilitation efforts. (Author abstract)
