The primary objective of this book is to cover various facets of the criminal justice system and highlight different aspects of sentencing. It provides a detailed explanation of the criminal justice system that lies at the heart of any society and aims at protection of rights and establishment of framework for conduct of social, political, and economic activity. Some of the vital aspects of the criminal justice system such as punishing the offenders, assuring and providing compensation to victims, and providing protection to the witnesses have been discussed elaborately.

This work captures the recent advancements in criminology and psychology that have paved the way for recognition of the idea that not all offenders are similar and that a degree of flexibility is desirable in the administration of criminal justice. Moreover, it aspires to cover potential tension between the power of court to ‘individualize treatment’ and the ‘mandatory minimum sentences’ prescribed by the legislature that is the subject of intense debate in recent times.
