Sentencing BillContribution
Recall remains an important public protection tool where risk escalates. Offenders who pose a greater risk are already excluded from these changes. I remind noble Lords that in this area the Bill goes further than David Gauke’s Independent Sentencing Review and specifies that certain groups must receive a standard recall. This cohort includes those recalled on account of being charged with a further offence, such as in relation to a breach of a civil order. It also includes those subject to multi-agency supervision levels 2 and 3, which apply to many sexual, violent and domestic abuse offenders.
