This focus is important because another distinctive feature of the American criminal justice system is the severity of the sentences it imposes. Not only is the average length of sentences imposed on American offenders far in excess of that imposed in other Western nations, but there is considerable evidence that the average length of sentences has increased in direct response to the transition from a system of standardized sentences to the humanitarian system of individualized sentences. At the same time, those opposing procedural reform and formalization of the sentencing process have chiefly argued that individualization requires that the sentencing judge be given unfettered discretion.
