Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Offender Management.


Offender Management

Does the Home Secretary accept that few dangerous offenders are women and that relatively few women commit violent offences? Yet in recent years, there has been a disproportionate increase in the female prison population. May we therefore have the widest possible range of alternatives, in which the courts and the public can have confidence, to custody for women, including sentences that are especially tailored to women and would be suitable for women with young families?
