After a brief historical overview it notes some key developments in the field since the introduction of sentencing guidelines in the 1980s. The chapter concludes by previewing the remaining contents of the volume. And also proposes a model guideline regime for jurisdictions disinclined to adopt sentencing grids.

Guidelines across the US have changed little over the years and commissions are unlikely to abandon the grid-based structure of their guidelines. Judges and practitioners in the guideline states appear comfortable with current arrangements and there is no professional or academic clamour for radical reform. The two-dimensional grid has long enjoyed prominence in the US marketplace of penal reforms.
