answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>There is persuasive evidence showing that short custodial sentences do not work in terms of rehabilitation and helping some offenders turn their backs on crime. Community sentences, in certain circumstances, are more effective in reducing reoffending, and therefore keeping the public safe. Unless we tackle the underlying causes of offending, we cannot protect the public from being victims of crime.</p><p> </p><p>There is therefore a case to abolish sentences of six months or less, with some exceptions. We are currently exploring options, including looking at the introduction of a presumption. At this stage we have not reached any conclusions.</p><p> </p><p>However, we must ensure the public and judiciary have confidence in effective community orders, including those which address offenders’ behaviour, answer their mental health and alcohol or drug misuse needs, or provide reparation for the benefit of the wider community.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/03/2019 17:32:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
