Punishing Persistent Offenders: Exploring Community and Offender Perspectives (Clarendon Studies in Criminology)

by JulianV.Roberts (Author)

Synopsis

For many repeat offenders, previous convictions have more impact on their penalty than the seriousness of their current crime. Why do we punish reoffense more harshly? Should offenders be punished only for crimes they commit and not for crimes committed and paid for in the past? How does this practice affect the views of offenders and the public?
