尽管世界各地的刑事司法制度差异很大，但近年来，在所有西方司法管辖区都出现了一个主题：在公众舆论在量刑政策和改革中发挥关键作用之际，严厉惩罚的言论和实践都有所增加。尽管司法管辖区之间存在差异，但在接受调查的五个国家——英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰——之间存在着惊人的共同点。根据代表性民意调查和其他研究工具的结果，作者绘制了各国公众对犯罪和惩罚的态度，并探讨了公众观点与实际政策之间的一致性。《刑罚民粹主义与公众舆论》一书由四位杰出的量刑政策专家共同撰写，呼吁限制刑罚民粹主义的影响，并在西方世界建立更明智、更基于研究的量刑政策。
Although criminal justice systems vary greatly around the world, one theme has emerged in all western jurisdictions in recent years: a rise in both the rhetoric and practice of severe punishment at a time when public opinion has played a pivotal role in sentencing policy and reforms. Despite the differences among jurisdictions, startling commonalities exist among the five countries-the U.K., USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand-surveyed here. Drawing on the results of representative opinion surveys and other research tools the authors map public attitudes towards crime and punishment across countries and explore the congruence between public views and actual policies. Co-authored by four distinguished sentencing policy experts, Penal Populism and Public Opinion is a clarion call for limiting the influence of penal populism and instituting more informed, research-based sentencing policies across the western world.
