Recommendation 2
2
Paragraph: 30
Explore simplification of sentencing terminology with the Sentencing Council and judiciary.
Recommendation
We welcome the Sentencing Academy’s work reviewing the terminology of sentencing and we look forward to its findings. We encourage the Government to work with Sentencing Council and the judiciary to explore whether sentencing terminology can be simplified and made more accessible. The example set by the judiciary in the Netherlands and their project ‘plain language’ provides a useful model of how this could be done.
