N2  - This article discusses some recent empirical research into the sentencing of dangerous offenders in England and Wales in its wider socio-legal context. It is particularly concerned to draw attention to the ways in which the operation of those procedural constraints that circumscribe judicial discretionary decisions in this area bear little relevance to notions of moral legitimacy, nor the legal rights of offenders, victims or the wider community.<p />
