Proceeding contribution from Roger Gale (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Criminal Justice.
Criminal Justice
My constituent was left in a coma after an assault by a young thug who, 10 days earlier, had been released with a three-month supervision order for a similar crime. The maximum sentence for his crime was five years, but the guideline was 15 months, so because he had already served six months in custody the judge had no alternative but to let him free to go back on the streets. The sentencing guidelines are part of the problem. What does the Home Secretary propose to do about them?
