SUMMARY

This is the first major study to examine whether race is a factor influencing the sentences imposed in the Crown Courts in England. Based on a large sample of cases, it reveals a complex and disturbing pattern of racial differences in the resort to custody, the lengths of sentences, and the choice of alternative punishments. The findings provide a challenge for considering how to eliminate the racial factor from sentencing practices.Hood, Roger G. is the author of 'Race and Sentencing: A Study in the Crown Court', published 1993 under ISBN 9780198258407 and ISBN 0198258402.
