Thomas' Sentencing Referencer 2023

Thomas' Sentencing Referencer provides clear and concise guidance on the operation of the Sentencing Code with concise summaries of the important case law.

The 2023 edition has been updated to reflect the changes brought into force in the past 12 months:

• the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, including changes to life sentences, murder, release, and behaviour orders
• the Judicial Review and Courts Act 2022, including changes to magistrates' courts sentencing powers and dealing with young offenders
• the latest developments from the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) across a range of topics

Thomas’ Sentencing Referencer provides user-friendly tables and flow charts, including tables on guilty plea reductions by percentage and key details of minimum sentences. For many, it is quite simply the usual starting point from which they can confidently find a path through the maze of legislation.
