Subject outline
This subject provides an understanding of the processes, practices and complexities involved in sanctioning offenders in contemporary Australia. The aims of sentencing, together with the technical processes by which sentences are determined, are considered and assessed in light of legal, social, political and economic considerations and concerns. Varying types of sanctions are examined with particular attention paid to current practices of imprisonment and community corrections and the extent to which these achieve sentencing aims, reduce crime and enhance community cohesion and safety.
