The Framework of Judicial Sentencing

Examines the sentencing of offenders appearing on multiple offences and how judges having fixed a prison sentence for each offence, determines an overall sentence for each offender. Offers a model of judicial sentencing in the form of a decision strategy comprising working rules deduced from the given responses of judges as they attempt to apply sentencing law and a numerical guideline in the form of an algebraic model quantifying the application of the working rules.

First sentence: In sentencing, the judge's tasks is to determine the type and quantum of sentence appropriate to the facts of the case, and this judgment must be made in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions and appellate principles.
