- Title
SENTENCING UNDER THE MODEL PENAL CODE.
- Authors
TAPPAN, PAUL W.
- Abstract
The article analyzes the forms of prison sentencing and their relationship to parole with reference to provisions in the Model Penal Code of the American Law Institute in the U.S. As stated, the definite-sentence system was a product of classical criminology with its emphasis upon equality and certainty of punishment expressed in establishment of prescribed sanctions for every crime. Another form of prison sentencing is indeterminate sentence aimed at protecting society by controlling the offender for a period of unlimited duration. Today the partially-indeterminate sentence is employed in which is used exclusively for death sentences in eight jurisdictions of the U.S.
