Discretion, Discrimination and the Rule of Law: Reforming Rape Sentencing in India
Mrinal Satish
This book addresses and analyses the rape sentencing regime in India, and argues that rape myths and stereotypes influence sentencing, leading to unwarranted disparity. It undertakes a theoretical examination of the purposes of punishment, the fundamentally overlapping nature of the stages of the criminal process, and the meaning of 'disparity'.
