 SENTENCING FRAMEWORKS IN SINGAPORE

Quick Reference Guide and Roadmap

The formulation of sentencing frameworks is an area of active judicial development and innovation in Singapore. In the past decade, these frameworks have appeared in more than 50 sentencing guideline judgments issued by the Singapore Court of Appeal and High Court. Many of the concepts employed in these sentencing frameworks – such as offence-specific sentencing factors, offender-specific sentencing factors, principal factual elements, multiple starting points sentencing approach, sentencing matrix and sentencing bands – have not been considered in other jurisdictions.

Sentencing Frameworks is the first publication to analyse the substantial body of Singapore jurisprudence on sentencing frameworks. It offers the author’s perspectives on some of the considerations that can go into the formulation of sentencing frameworks. Sentencing Frameworks attempts to answer questions such as what are the different types of sentencing frameworks in Singapore, when would a sentencing framework be helpful, how can the offence-specific sentencing factors and principal factual elements for an offence be identified, what are the situations where a sentencing bands framework may be suitable, and how can the starting point sentences for a framework be derived.

Sentencing Frameworks is suitable for criminal law practitioners and anyone who is curious about how sentencing frameworks can be formulated and how sentences can be derived.

From the Foreword

“This book is a timely response to the many developments in this fast-developing area of the law. Its contents offer useful insights not only as to how existing sentencing frameworks may be applied, but also as to where and how new frameworks might be meaningfully developed.”

In collaboration with the Singapore Judicial College and Academy Publishing, this is the first bench series in Singapore featuring the philosophy which drives the pedagogy of the Singapore Judicial College – first, to have judges teaching judges; and second, delivering judicial education that is relevant in the judicial context.

Fact-Finding and Reality may well be the very first attempt to examine important aspects of judicial decision-making, reasoning and fact-finding from the lens of a serving Singapore judge. The discussion links to how judges evaluate evidence and assess the credibility of witnesses, distilling and synthesising established theories from a corpus of literature on the subject and contextualising them using Singapore cases. An invaluable bench guide, this monograph is a must-read for all judges in Singapore, especially those newly appointed to the bench.
