Paragraph: 48
Explore using the Common Platform to produce accessible sentencing data for the public.
Conclusion
The Crown Court Sentencing Survey provided a rich dataset on how sentences are determined. It should be possible to use the Common Platform, the new case information system used in the criminal justice system, to produce a valuable dataset on sentencing without imposing additional burdens on the courts and the Sentencing Council. The Ministry of Justice, HMCTS and the Sentencing Council should explore how the Common Platform can be used to produce useful sentencing data that can be presented in a way that is accessible to the public.
