Abstract
This paper provides a preliminary outline of a possible model of how the satisfaction of public opinion could be used in a rational system of sentencing. As public opinion data concerning the criminal justice system is becoming increasingly sophisticated and readily available, and public opinion clearly plays a role in the sentencing decision, a model whereby the satisfaction of public opinion may be judiciously and effectively incorporated into the sentencing system is urgently required. Some of the pitfalls of using public opinion data are also highlighted as a caveat to the feasibility of such a model.
