The role of an appellate court in developing sentencing guidelines / Alan Young. : J23-3/22-1988E-PDF
"This report will examine the extent to which appellate courts have been successful in structuring and confining the discretion inherent in the sentencing process. Many people may be convinced that discretion is a necessary evil and that any attempt to structure the sentencing decision will thwart the important objective of imposing a sentence that is perfectly tailored to the circumstances of the offender and the offence. There can be little doubt that both offenders and offences are uniquely individual, and in recognition of the kaleidoscopic nature of human behaviour it is necessary to first provide some justification for the enterprise of creating uniform moral responses, as reflected in sentencing decisions, to this vast landscape of offences and offenders"--Introduction, p. 2.
