Paragraph: 60
Sentencer confidence in community sentences for women has significantly declined.
Conclusion
We support the MoJ’s commitment to supporting a greater proportion of women to successfully serve their sentences in the community. We recognise that a shift from custodial to community sentences must be led by the judiciary; however, we note concerns raised by witnesses that sentencer confidence in community sentences has declined.
