Sentencing BillContribution
Why, therefore, do you need to devolve the criminal justice system, particularly the bits relating to offender management? That is set out in the report of the commission I have the honour to chair, in four short paragraphs, paragraphs 4.280 to 4.283: there is an approach in a small nation that is vastly better than the approach being adopted here in England. It is to ensure that you have a system which radically rethinks, as the noble Lord, Lord Moylan, described earlier today, the way in which our sentencing process works.
