This book presents empirical analyses of the normative and ideological structures of courts' decisions to imprison in the daily handling of criminal cases, and it explores the ways in which courtroom decision-making process upholds decisions as legally valid - maintain legal closure - yet at the same time also allows decision-making to reflect wider and more contextual factors.
