answer text <p>Section 2 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 (the 1997 Act) introduced a mandatory life sentence for a second serious offence, meaning judges had to impose a life sentence on anyone convicted of a second specified serious offence, unless there were exceptional circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Although the ‘two-strike’ life sentence and the IPP sentence can be imposed for similar specified offences, unlike the IPP sentence, the ‘two-strike’ life sentence is a life sentence, and offenders will therefore be subject to licence conditions for life if they are released by the Parole Board. The recent changes to the IPP licence, which can be terminated pursuant to section 31A of the 1997 Act, would therefore not align with this life licence.</p><p> </p><p>We will be launching a review of the sentencing framework. The details of this review will be announced in due course.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Information on the number of cases received and completed, and the average duration of a review, is available on the Criminal Cases Review Commission’s (CCRC) website and in their annual report. The table below provides data for the last five complete business years:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Applications Received</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Cases Completed</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Duration of a Review (from allocation to initial decision)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>1334</p></td><td><p>1453</p></td><td><p>31.7 weeks</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>1142</p></td><td><p>1109</p></td><td><p>35.1 weeks</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>1198</p></td><td><p>1183</p></td><td><p>34.4 weeks</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022-23</p></td><td><p>1424</p></td><td><p>1275</p></td><td><p>38.7 weeks</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2023-24</p></td><td><p>1629</p></td><td><p>1441</p></td><td><p>35.1 weeks</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The average number of Case Review Managers over the past five years is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year ending 31 March</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Case Review Manager Average Headcount</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019 – 2020</p></td><td><p>30</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020 – 2021</p></td><td><p>30</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021 – 2022</p></td><td><p>29</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022 – 2023</p></td><td><p>29</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2023 - 2024</p></td><td><p>31</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Section three of the CCRC’s published Case Review Process policy (<a href="https://cloud-platform-e218f50a4812967ba1215eaecede923f.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/CW-POL-04-Case-Review-Process-v3.0.pdf" target="_blank">CW-POL-04-Case-Review-Process-v3.0.pdf (cloud-platform-e218f50a4812967ba1215eaecede923f.s3.amazonaws.com)</a>) outlines that cases are generally allocated in date order of receipt. However, there are several exceptional factors which determine the degree of priority once a case is under review. These assessments are fluid and relative to the needs of other cases. There are several factors for a case to be given higher priority, these include old age (75 years or older) and/or ill health, supported by medical evidence, where there is concern that the applicant may die before the case is dealt with. In addition, evidence that the applicant’s serious ill health (or that of any close family member of the applicant) is directly and significantly aggravated by any delay will also result in the case being given higher priority. The full list of factors for a case to be given a higher priority can be found in the Case Review Process policy.</p>
