The Sentencing Academy is a research and engagement charitable incorporated organisation dedicated to developing expert and public understanding of sentencing in England and Wales.
It encourages the Government to implement effective sentencing practices and informs public debate about sentencing, acting as a bridge between those with expert knowledge of sentencing, the public, and policy makers.
We commission and collaborate with a diverse range of specialist researchers conducting evaluative, comparative and explorative reports covering key topics in the area of sentencing in England and Wales.
Policy makers, researchers, and special interest groups may find this section of particular interest.
Please let us know if you have any other areas of interest that you would like us to cover.
We have crafted a range of different resources that help explain particular sentencing practices; highlight key trends from current statistical information and provide clarity around legal terms and offences.
Practitioners, academics, and the public may find this section useful but please do let us know should there be additional areas that you feel we should also look to cover.
