English View all editions and formats Summary: This anthology presents articles on various aspects of discretionary decisionmaking in the administration of justice. Discretionary justice suggests latitude of decisionmaking rather than formality or certainty, and unlike the symbolic idea of due process, it suggests that idiosyncrasy rather than rules may guide decisionmaking within the administration of criminal justice at all levels of the police, court, and penal systems.

The role of discretion at the arrest, prosecution, and sentencing levels as well as within the framework of correctional institutions is examined.
