Recenzii
'Almost all jurisdictions impose more lenient sentences on defendants who plead guilty. This volume provides a thoughtful analysis of plea-based sentencing discounts. Drawing on new secondary research, the author explores the issue in Hong Kong and elsewhere. He raises important questions about current practice and the volume will interest readers in all common law jurisdictions.' Julian Roberts, Professor of Criminology, University of Oxford and Executive Director, Sentencing Academy, London
'Although the focus of research attention for over half a century and recognised as a global phenomenon, relatively little has been written about Hong Kong practices until now. Using empirical evidence, Cheng presents powerful arguments around the timing of guilty pleas and the impact of pre-trial processes on sentencing outcomes.' Jacqueline Hodgson, Professor of Law and Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor (Research), University of Warwick
'The Timing of Guilty Pleas represents an outstanding contribution to the international literature not only on guilty pleas, plea bargaining but on criminal justice process more generally. Clearly structured with a thought-provoking and critical edge, it offers invaluable knowledge and guidance to scholars, students, as well as policy officials and practitioners across the world.' Cyrus Tata, Ph.D., FRSA, Professor of Law and Criminal Justice, University of Strathclyde, Scotland
