Sentence Guide

If you or someone you know is facing sentencing, the uncertainty about what might happen can be as stressful as the court process itself. This tool gives you a plain English guide to the likely sentencing range for your offence, what factors make a sentence more or less severe, and what the different types of sentence mean in practice.

From fines and community orders to suspended sentences and custody, we explain what each option involves and how long it actually lasts. If you have any comments or would like additional tools, please leave a comment at the bottom of this page.
