The Constitutionality of Minimum Mandatory Sentencing Regimes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

The article considers whether a constitutional challenge to the validity of minimum mandatory sentencing regimes would be successful. It argues there should be a strong basis for challenge, given decisions such as Liyanage where a scheme providing for minimum mandatory sentencing was struck out on the basis of separation of powers principles. These principles are enshrined in the Australian Constitution.
