Plea bargaining and sentencing guidelines / Simon Verdun-Jones and Allison Hatch.: J23-3/7-1988E-PDF
"This paper considers the potential impact that plea bargaining will have on the introduction of sentencing guidelines in Canada. From a consideration of the U.S. literature, it is determined that plea bargaining is a complex and diverse phenomenon that varies between, and even within, jurisdictions. Furthermore, attempts to abolish or restructure it have generally failed or resulted inunintended and undesirable consequences throughout the criminal justice system. Any study of the impact of sentencing reform should, therefore, consider that such a move would have implications for the entire system, from arrest to the parole stage"--Executive summary, p. iii.
