Sentencing Principles

Sentencing Principles is the body of normative and doctrinal criteria in substantive criminal law that governs the selection, severity, and form of punishment for convicted offenders by specifying the legitimate purposes of sentencing (such as retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation), requiring proportionality to offense gravity and offender blameworthiness, and constraining discretionary and discriminatory sentencing outcomes.
