"In the Foreword to the Sixth Edition, Patrick Chan, formerly a Permanent Judge of the Court of Final Appeal, said: 'To indulge in making comparison with other cases but to overlook the fundamental sentencing principles would be missing the whole object of sentencing'. I agree fully with those words. When I first joined the Court of Appeal and began dealing with criminal cases after a gap of over 20 years and having to look closely at sentences (in some cases fixing sentencing tariffs), this textbook provided invaluable guidance to me. Like many judges and practitioners, I am grateful to the authors for producing this excellent work." - Foreword to the seventh edition by Geoffrey Ma, Chief Justice, Court of Final Appeal
