Sentencing for Multiple Crimes confronts the practical and theoretical challenges for the criminal justice system when punishing multiple crime offenders, including the proportionality of the crimes committed, the temporal span between the crimes, and the relationship between theories about the punitive treatment of recidivists and multiple offenders. It provides a comprehensive examination of the dynamics involved with sentencing multiple offenders from theperspective of several legal theories.
