Summary:

This title presents a fully developed punishment theory which incorporates both utilitarian and retributive sentencing purposes. The author describes and defends a hybrid sentencing model that integrates theory and practice - blending and balancing both the competing principles of retribution and rehabilitation and the procedural concern of weighing rules against discretion.

Contents:

The expanded limiting-retributive, state-guidelines model

Limiting retributivism and other hybrid theories

Elements of the expanded model in Minnesota, other sentencing systems, and model codes

The problem of enhancements for prior or multiple current convictions

The problem of disproportionate racial impact.
