Most people charged with a criminal offence are sentenced, which involves the loss of individual liberty, a fundamental right of our society. This subject examines the law and practice of sentencing in Victoria.

Students attend lecture seminars on campus and go on a field trip to an institution involved in sentencing, such as a prison.
