Tougher Sentences For Terrorism Offences Are On The Way
From April 2020 there will tougher sentences on terrorism offences in certain instances. Here we look at what circumstances apply and what the tougher sentencing will mean.
Public Order Offence Sentencing Guidelines
There are to be a series of new Public Order Offence Sentencing Guidelines that come in to force for adults sentenced on or after 1 January 2020. What are the changes proposed?
Tories Vow Tougher Sentencing Violent / Sexual Crimes
The Conservative Party Conference has seen calls being met for the Government to get tough on sentencing for violent and sexual crimes. This article looks at what these changes will mean moving forward and for existing offenders in the system.
Delayed Justice
In the case of Janet Commins, forensic evidence saw the original conviction of her “killer” overturned as new technology convicted someone else of her killing.
The Absent Witness
In some circumstances, it may be the case that there may be an absent witness. There can be numerous reasons for this – but the question is can the defence use this to their advantage?
More Sentences At Risk of Prosecution Appeal
There is to be an increase in the number of offences subject to prosecution appeal, where it may be deemed that sentences applied are unduly lenient.
