Judges exert a great deal of discretion in sentencing offenders. Society expects sentences to be appropriate to the seriousness of the criminal act that incarcerates violent offenders and prevent innocent people from becoming victims of crime. The determinate sentence imposes a sentence for a definite term. Judges have less discretion in this type of sentence. The indeterminate sentence frequently causes sentence disparity. It allows judges little discretion as parole boards decide when to release an individual.
