<p>The Law Officers promote the unduly lenient sentence scheme and its extension,
including in Parliament and on social media. The Lord Chancellor, in the recent Victims’
Code public consultation, sought views on a requirement that witness care officers
inform victims of the right to request a review of a sentence, at the time of sentence.
The Ministry of Justice are currently analysing the responses to the consultation
and aim to publish the revised Victims’ Code later this year. As set out in the consultation,
raising awareness of the Victims’ Code will be an important part of the re-launch.</p>
