Sentencing Bill

Contribution

The omission of gambling needs to be rectified. Only in September this year, the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners called for it in its document, Gambling Policy and the Criminal Justice System. Gambling, it argued, should be included in the assessment system and should be matched with measures including treatment orders and even gambling-free wings in prison, to help prevent those with gambling disorders from reoffending.
