Guest speaker : Pauline Schuyt, Professor in Penal Law and Sentencing, Leiden University.
Summary
Criminal Law is about two things: an action that can be qualified as a criminal offence and an accused person, who is criminally liable for that action. When sentencing, the judge has to do justice to both aspects. Two recent, seemingly contradictory, developments show that it is not easy for judges to do justice to both of these aspects. In this lecture, Prof. Pauline Schuyt will talk about these two developments and she will answer the question what this means for the three last phases of the criminal procedure: choosing a sentence, executing the sentence and the lives of those who served their sentence.
