Views of sentencing : a survey of judges in Canada / Research staff Jean-Paul Brodeur ... [et. al.] of the Canadian Sentencing Commission. : J23-3/18-1988E-PDF

"One of the earliest priorities of the research team of the Canadian Sentencing Commission was to survey the opinions of sentencing judges in Canada. Accordingly a questionnaire was devised, in the fall of 1984, to address all the issues related to sentencing which were directly or indirectly raised by the Commission's mandate. This questionnaire was revised and sent out to respondents in the spring of 1985. Judges were encouraged to write comments, but the confidentiality of these comments was made clear. The present document contains a description of the survey, an item-by-item breakdown of responses, and some subsidiary analyses. This poll represents the first, systematic attempt to canvass the views of judges in this country. As will be seen, over 400 judges sent back completed questionnaires. This is a high return rate for professional groups of this nature. The results of this survey should prove of great interest to the criminal justice community"--Preface, p. 1.
