It has become clear that judges hands are being tied by sentence guidelines which are set by the sentencing council.
With this in mind and criminals either being let off with suspended sentences or very short sentence, should we not now look at allowing judges to detach themselves from sentencing guidelines where they feel after guidelines the punishment will not fit the crime.
To the House of Commons
The petition of Cathy Franklin declares that the UK Government should pass law where the judges can detach themselves from sentencing guidelines set out by the sentencing council where they feel the sentence would not fit the crime and be to lenient.
The petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons brings in a law that allows the judges to detach themselves from the guidelines at their discretion. And the petitioner remains etc.
