Court sentencing in Botswana

Description:

Concern has been expressed in Botswana about the increasing numbers of adult offenders sent to prison. Yet few alternatives to custody exist. Research was conducted to enquire whether pre-sentence reports about defendants, prepared by social workers, would be useful and whetherprobation orders should be introduced to widen the range of sentencing options available. There was found to be support, in principle, for these measures.
