Sentencing expert warns of confusion and unintended consequences if Custodial Sentencing Bill passed
Thursday, March 15, 2007
Writing in CjScotland today Cyrus Tata, Co-director of the Centre for Sentencing Research and senior lecturer in the School of Law, University of Strathclyde, argues that the Bill is a missed opportunity to improve public confidence in criminal justice. It’s supporters claim that it will result in greater clarity and honesty in sentencing. However, the reality is that, as currently framed, it will result in greater confusion, longer prison sentences, and a substantial rise in the prison population.
