DESCRIPTION:Professor Frédéric Mégret welcomes Dr Antje du Bois-Pedain\, Ca
 mbridge U.\, for a talk on criminal sentencing.\n\nAbstract\n\nThis paper 
 develops a conception of state punishment as setting\, on behalf of the po
 lity\, reasonable terms for the polity’s continued relationship with an of
 fender in respect of his crime. This notion of state punishment is rooted 
 in the constitutional status of offenders as citizens and the consequent n
 on-severability of relations of right between the offender and the polity.
  It also has important implications for sentencing practice. Traditional s
 tatements of the aims of a criminal punishment – lists that tend to includ
 e just retribution\, general and special deterrence\, incapacitation\, and
  rehabilitation  – leave sentencing judges with very little guidance as to
  how to approach the individualisation of sentences. Grasping that crimina
 l trials and sentencing decisions are best understood as integrative socia
 l practices allows judges to take a constructive approach to sentencing. I
 t also helps us to see the principled justification for\, and outline prac
 tical applications of\, s 718(2)(e) of the Criminal Code in respect of abo
 riginal offenders.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nDr Antje du Bois-Pedain is a Se
 nior Lecturer in the Faculty of Law and Deputy Director of the Centre for 
 Penal Theory and Penal Ethics at the Institute of Criminology\, where she 
 leads the Centre’s research projects on Criminal Law and the Authority of 
 the State\, and Penal Censure. She founded and convenes the Cambridge Tran
 sitional Justice Research Network\, an informal association of Cambridge-b
 ased scholars working on issues of post-conflict justice and socio-politic
 al reform.\n
