Robbery Guideline

This is the latest guideline on sentencing for robbery. (It's a pdf).

It is academic as far as I am concerned, because robbery is an offence that we cannot deal with - cases must be sent to the Crown Court.

These guidelines have already been misrepresented in the press, and that is really an insult to the highly experienced and qualified members of the Council.

If you have nothing better to do, have a look at the guidelines. They seem about right to me.
