It offers an in-depth analysis of the language used in sentencing provisions. Many critical discussions of various sentences available to the court, including death sentences, imprisonment, fines, whipping, bonds of good behaviour and other non-custodial orders are highlighted in this book – which also includes discussions on youthful offenders and their treatment.
