• Adapted from a paper presented at the Queensland Supreme Court Judges' Seminar, Brisbane, March 2002 - the presence of judicial discretion in sentencing is being eroded by various legislative restrictions, including mandatory sentencing laws, restriction on sentences for violent offenders and proposals for sentencing grids - consistency as a central sentencing imperative - methods adopted in various jurisdictions for the regulation of judicial discretion in sentencing - usefulness of these strategies in achieving consistency is discussed in the context of the Queensland sentencing system - utility of adopting these approaches in gaining greater uniformity and fairness in sentencing.
