About the episode

Sentencing is a complex process. It has to consider the circumstances of the offender, and it needs a sense of justice to be felt by the victim and the wider community. How do you strike that balance?In this episode of Sentencing Explained, we talk with two former community members of the Sentencing Council, Howard Brown and Moira Magrath, about the challenges and benefits of being on the Council. They reflect on how their respective backgrounds in victims’ advocacy and corrective services helped shape their work with the Council. They also consider key issues in sentencing, such as the implications of mandatory sentencing and the need to avoid overregulation.
