Abstract | Research into judicial attitudes and perceptions of sentencing is rare, and there are difficulties with permissions and access which discourage potential investigators. Because of this, there are virtually no precedents for this type of research. The research was ultimately published in a book by Federation Press, How Judges Sentence, 2005. When I was asked to speak on this topic today, I decided to highlight some interesting features of the research, and in particular to include some of the discussion by the judges which did not appear in the book, mainly for reasons of space. |
