Not Addressed
Paragraph: 52
Broadcasting of sentencing remarks reinforces need for up-to-date statistical information.
Conclusion
The broadcasting of sentencing remarks represents a potential game-changer for public understanding of sentencing in England and Wales. However, it also reinforces the need for up-to-date statistical information on sentencing practice and trends so that the sentencing remarks that are being broadcast can be understood in their proper context.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government describes its existing initiative to broadcast sentencing remarks in Crown Courts and its purpose in increasing public understanding, but it does not address the committee's identified need for up-to-date statistical information to contextualise these broadcasts.
