Recommendation 30
30
Paragraph: 122
Current sentencing guidelines inadequately address emotional and psychological impact of fraud crimes.
Conclusion
The loss of a comparatively small amount of money can have a greater impact on one individual than the loss of a greater amount on another. The current sentencing guidelines do not recognise this and therefore overlook the emotional and psychological impact that fraud crimes can have on their victims.
