- This monograph (261 pages) presents an in-depth comparative study of sentencing practice for rape. It provides a thorough review of the medical literature on the physical and psychological effects of rape, the legal and philosophical literature on the seriousness of rape, and the victim’s role in sentencing. The monograph then explores and critically analyses judicial approaches to sentencing in six common law jurisdictions by examining sentencing guidelines and over 250 decisions of the relevant appellate courts. Some 700 books, book chapters, journal articles and reports were used in researching and writing the monograph.
