Moderate and Non-Arbitrary Sentencing Without Guidelines – The German Experience
It is often assumed that sentencing guidelines are important to ensure fair and equal sentencing in criminal cases. Against this background, it needs explanations why criminal justice systems such as the German criminal justice system can achieve fairly moderate and equal outcomes without guidelines. The article examines factors within the legal system (such as the education and self-understanding of judges, legal education) which might contribute to a fairly moderate and equal sentencing system in the absences of sentencing guidelines.
期刊介绍:
Law and Contemporary Problems was founded in 1933 and is the oldest journal published at Duke Law School. It is a quarterly, interdisciplinary, faculty-edited publication of Duke Law School. L&CP recognizes that many fields in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities can enhance the development and understanding of law. It is our purpose to seek out these areas of overlap and to publish balanced symposia that enlighten not just legal readers, but readers from these other disciplines as well. L&CP uses a symposium format, generally publishing one symposium per issue on a topic of contemporary concern. Authors and articles are selected to ensure that each issue collectively creates a unified presentation of the contemporary problem under consideration. L&CP hosts an annual conference at Duke Law School featuring the authors of one of the year’s four symposia.
