From that date, anyone given a standard determinate sentence of 7 years or more for the most serious sexual or violent offences, including attempted murder, will be required to spend two-thirds – rather than half – of that sentence in prison.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 26/03/2020 15:21:25 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp attachment 1 file name Copy of Copy of PQ 32650 reply_final.xlsx title Table

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2020 answer text <p>The table attached gives the mean and median average period spent in custody by males and females released from determinate sentences of imprisonment between 2016 and 2018, by category of the main offence for which they were serving the sentence.</p><p> </p><p>Sentencing is entirely a matter for our independent courts. When deciding what sentence to impose the courts take into account the circumstances of the offence and any mitigating and aggravating factors, in line with the sentencing guidelines – which are issued by the independent Sentencing Council. The sentencing framework and sentencing guidelines apply equally to all offenders.</p><p> </p><p>Men tend to serve longer in prison and there are a number of factors which help to explain why this is. Principally, men tend to be convicted of more serious offending which attracts longer custodial sentences, including extended determinate sentences, where release is at the two thirds point of the sentence rather than half way. This in turn means that women are more likely to be eligible for early release under the home detention curfew (HDC) scheme, which allows release up to 135 days before the halfway point of the sentence and is limited to offenders sentenced to less than four years. Those serving extended determinate sentences are excluded. In addition, the data in these tables also includes time served following recall to prison from licenced supervision. Recalled men tend to be serving longer sentences (12 months or more) and will generally serve longer after recall than recalled women, who tend to be serving less than 12 months.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 02/03/2020 16:23:57 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer attachment 1 file name Copy of PQ 18570.xlsx title Table
