Supplement to Sentencing Law and Practice in Northern Ireland (Paperback, 3rd edition)

This essential Supplement completely updates the main text of the third edition published in 1998. It takes account of the many developments in both case law and statute law to provide a comprehensive account of sentencing law and practice in the courts of Northern Ireland. New material includes the juvenile justice reforms under the Justice (NI) Act 2002: juvenile justice centre orders; reparation orders; community responsibility orders; youth conference orders; and, custody care orders. Other major changes are the Criminal Justice (Children) (NI) Order 1998, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the release on licence of discretionary life sentence prisoners, as well as drug treatment and testing orders and sex offender restraining orders. The Supplement will be welcomed not only by sentencers and members of the legal profession, but also by social work professionals and people working in the wide range of statutory and voluntary agencies concerned with both juvenile and adult justice.
