Sense and sentencing

By John Hirst

Sense and sentencing

Marcel Berlins writes in Writ Large

It is no longer a matter of debate that sentencing policy is in a mess. The proliferation of ill-thought-out laws on sentencing since Labour took power has resulted in mass confusion and disenchantment among all connected with the criminal justice system of England and Wales. The general public looks on, dissatisfied. Laws have been passed which are incomprehensible to the judges that are supposed to implement them; some sentencing laws have been belatedly discovered to be incompatible with others. The courts have passed sentences which have overcrowded our prisons, so, topsy-turvily, a law had to be passed to allow prisoners to be released before their release date.
