Intermediate Sentencing

Explanation:

Specialized courts tend to use intermediate sentencing approach. Intermediate sentencing involves sentencing the offender to a range of jail term. for example, 5-7 years. The aim of this is that when there is a noticeable change in the offenders behavior, he could be released. This is opposite to determinate sentencing where the duration of jail time is set.
