The Anglo-American Institute of Postponement of Sentencing as an alternative to the traditional reaction to crime
Abstract
The article analyzes the right of a judge in England and the USA to defer sentence. Based on long-standing division of the criminal proceedings on merits into trial and sentencing stages, anglo-american criminal procedure empowers a judge in the certain cases to defer sentence in order to induce a convicted person to correct his behaviour. Reflecting the need for flexibility in criminal justice, this institution represents a real alternative to a criminal punishment.
