Sentencing Guidelines

Additional Information

The British public has lost faith with the justice system as they repeatedly see ludicrously low sentences passed even for crimes of violence. The Sentencing Coucil purports to promote public confidence in the justice system but the opposite has been achieved as public perception is that sentences are being 'watered down'. I seek public support for the abolition of the Sentencing Council and the sentencing guidelines they promote. This will allow judges discretion to use full power of existing laws, save money and restore confidence in British justice.
