\nSummary
\nSentencing i
 s relatively similar in the common law and continental systems in that bot
 h occur post-trial. They are dissimilar however\, in that the common law s
 ystem has a separate trial for sentencing purposes while the continental s
 ystem has neither method nor procedure for sentencing examination. In the 
 common law system evidence and arguments regarding all mitigating and aggr
 avating factors occur in the sentencing trial where the Court issues a sep
 arate decision on it. In the continental system any mitigating and aggrava
 ting factor is examined within the substantive trial and is actually consi
 dered as part of sentencing. As sentencing is a crucial part of the crimin
 al trial\, which is linked to the rehabilitation and recidivism of the con
 victed person\, in the continental system it lacks the necessary procedura
 l frame and hearing detail. This paper will therefore argue that the commo
 n law system is not only structured but also more focused in the criminolo
 gical and legal aspect of sentencing.
