Abstract
Decision Support Systems have been widely used in business and engineering applications. Because sentencing is primarily concerned with consistency of process rather than consistency of outcome, it has not been a fruitful area for decision support research. We give an outline of the need for decision support to support sentencing decision-making. We examine current sentencing decision support systems and compare their different aims and users.
