Murder and Penal Policy


Overview

Based on a two-part study, this book examines the courts' interpretation of murder and the management of those serving life sentences for murder. It discusses the law, judges' difficulties in interpreting the law and inconsistencies that occur in various cases. The author suggests that legal reforms should ensure that the stigma attached to murder is maintained. Part two looks at life imprisonment as the maximum penalty for murder. It examines the operation of the Prison Department's policy of managing ""lifers"", and the possibilities for releasing them without endangering the public.
