Summary

Reflecting the overcrowding in our prisons and the subsequent increase in non-custodial sentences, this text provides a comprehensive and accessible account of the range of non-custodial sentences available and how they work in practice. It introduces students to the key issues and debates surrounding the area and situates them within a legal, criminological and a broader sociological context.
