Balancing the Scales: Understanding Criminal Sentencing offers a clear and engaging introduction to one of the most important yet least understood parts of the justice system. Lisa Stolzenberg and Stewart J. D'Alessio guide readers through the foundations of sentencing, the role of judicial discretion, mandatory minimums, plea bargaining, racial disparities, rehabilitation, and reform, using real-world examples and accessible explanations throughout. Designed for college students, policymakers, and general readers alike, this book breaks down complex legal ideas into an approachable discussion of fairness, punishment, and justice in America. It is an essential resource for anyone seeking to better understand how sentencing decisions shape lives, communities, and the future of criminal justice.
