Information About

This is the first book on the subject of sentencing in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has countless cases dealing with sentencing principle, practice and procedure. The territory's sentencing legislation is extensive and, often, difficult. However, judges, magistrates and practitioners have not hitherto had access to the works which are readily available to their counterparts in other jurisdictions. This book, with its emphasis on local law and practice, thus fills a gap in the Hong Kong legal landscape. It does so in a manner which is both cogent and thorough. All aspects of sentencing are considered in a practical way.
