The Cooptation of Fixed Sentencing Reform

David F. Greenberg, Drew Humphries

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Criticism of indeterminate sentencing was initially advanced as part of a larger radical program to transform American society. Yet recent sentencing reform legislation legitimated by this criticism has taken on a con servative character. This development is documented here, and explained in terms of political and social change over the past decade.
