About the Authors
  • Austin Lovegrove examines the thinking of judges as they sentence multiple offenders, and identifies the strategies judges have developed to help them apply sentencing law in individual cases, based on their responses when asked to "think aloud" while undertaking sentencing problems. Giving increased specificity to legal analyses of the sentencing process, Dr. Lovegrove enables the appropriateness of the judicial approach to be evaluated, and offers a basis for rule-based and numerical guidelines by making what is currently a largely intuitive process more deliberative.

    • Provides analysis of multiple-offender sentencing: highly topical in light of current and proposed judicial reforms
    • Combines cognitive decision-making model with qualitative analysis of judges' deliberative processes when sentencing
    • Offers a solution to the problem of maintaining proportionality between offence seriousness and punishment severity for multiple offenders
