Trying to demonstrate this is complex, people come to different decisions based on evidence. No broad introduction- get to the point in this paper it will be demonstrated there are complexities with each stage, using social science evidence i will show blah blah blah concluding that ect. Sentencing structures ( what they look like) Legal elements show one picture of what sentencing looks like. How it looks when its passed down. What the public thinks about sentencing we know from studies that people think that sentencing is too lenient but that fluctuates based on age and so on, the amount of information given and context.
