Sentences, Reports & Court Duty

The law states that the Court must obtain a written report (prepared by a member of the Youth Offending Team), before it passes a custodial sentence or most types of community sentences. The report describes the offence, its effect on the victim, the offenders home background and how they are doing at school / work. It also lists any previous convictions, an assessment of risk of re-offending and makes recommendations to the court about the most suitable sentence.
