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>
Although the \u2018two-strike\u2019 life sentence and the IPP sentence can be imposed for similar specified offences, unlike the IPP sentence, the \u2018two-strike\u2019 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>
