Our results demonstrate a complex interplay of neural structure, neural activity, and performance, which support our main predictions: First, we found no evidence for age-related performance differences in the comprehension of syntax with or without semantic support or in more general sentence comprehension capacities.
They rejected linking sentences to prison capacity, flatly dismissing talk of a Minnesota-style sentencing "grid", which prescribes sentences, as a major incursion into their judicial independence.
In 2002, Jean-Marie Le Pen campaigned on the law and order policies of "zero tolerance", harsher sentencing, increased prison capacity, as well as a referendum on re-introducing the death penalty.
So ramping up jail terms for violent criminals might only be possible if more shoplifters were sentenced to community service, for example.Setting sentences according to capacity, rather than vice-versa, could be hard to sell to voters, who reflexively believe that crime is getting worse and that longer sentences are the answer.
In this regard, special attention should be given to the definitions of child, age of criminal capacity, custodial sentencing, remand period, diversion and certain offences.
And the debate between this style of anti-realist and his realist opponent could proceed independently of any questions concerning the capacity of sentences in the relevant area to have potentially recognition-transcendent truth values.
Again, the debate between someone attributing a narrow cosmological role to a class of states of affairs and someone attributing a wide cosmological role could proceed independently of any questions concerning the capacity of sentences in the relevant area to have potentially recognition-transcendent truth values.
Lord Carter suggested a way of doing this, too: an independent commission that would set sentencing guidelines according to prison capacity.
But while the scale of the sentences comfortably exceeds the lung capacity of most readers (Cohen isn't afraid to unfurl a five-page sentence), the prose constantly highlights language's sonar qualities: "At lot's edge, last scattered lungs of leaves still hang from the boughs, breathe uneasy".
The federal system alone holds 219,000 inmates, 40 percent above its capacity, thanks to strict sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimum sentences.
