I. Introduction
Sentencing Policy refers to the mechanisms adopted by any criminal justice system to respond towards the commission of crime in the society. A sentencing policy encompasses wide range of processes and strategies relating to determination of the nature and type of penalty, procedure & rules governing release of offenders, and supervisory guidelines for governing post-imprisonment scenarios.[1] The sentencing policy of any criminal justice system cumulatively reflects the comprehensive measures adopted by that system towards the criminals in terms of their punishment, reformation and prison management.
