Summary note
Examines the sentencing of offenders appearing on multiple offences and how judges having fixed a prison sentence for each offence, determines an overall sentence for each offender. Offers a model of judicial sentencing in the form of a decision strategy comprising working rules deduced from the given responses of judges as they attempt to apply sentencing law and a numerical guideline in the form of an algebraic model quantifying the application of the working rules.
