Introduction
When considering potential sentencing options many factors need to be canvassed before making a recommendation.
The range of sentencing options is substantial, with six tiers available within the sentencing hierarchy and the ability to combine almost any of the sentences within a single recommendation.
This chapter outlines:
- the available sentencing options, including combinations
- the purposes and principles of sentencing
- information about the types of offender/offending that each sentence is targeted at/suitable for
- tools and guidelines to assist in the development of sentencing recommendations, and
- the effect of new sentences on existing sentences.
