Description

"The Sentencing Guidelines are like the tax code—mind numbingly detailed, but carefully constructed, with an overall logic," note the authors of this practical handbook. Roger W. Haines, Jr., who writes the Federal Sentencing Guide newsletter, and his coauthors show you how to understand the logic and accurately compute an accused's guidelines sentence. They offer information to eliminate uncertainty and frustration when determining an appropriate sentence or probation, or planning a prosecution or defense strategy. The handy easy-to-use format lets you take complete and current coverage to court.
