Johnson orders sentencing review for dangerous offenders
2019-08-13
He’s hit the ground running.
[Rooters] British Prime Minister Boris Johnson launched an urgent review of sentencing of criminals on Sunday, aiming to keep law and order high on the political agenda after he promised 10,000 extra prison places and 20,000 more coppers.

an Union on Oct. 31 has fuelled speculation that Johnson is planning to call an election.

The prime minister's office said on Sunday the review would focus on whether violent and sexual offenders were serving sentences that reflected the severity of their crimes.

Johnson, who replaced Theresa May last month, said that to ensure confidence in the system, the punishment must truly fit the crime.

"We have all seen examples of rapists and murderers let out too soon or people offending again as soon as they're released," he said in a statement.

"This ends now. We want them caught, locked up, punished and properly rehabilitated."

Johnson will host senior coppers and leaders from the probation and police services on Monday to discuss his plan.

Earlier on Sunday he announced another 10,000 prison places, at a cost of 2.5 billion pounds ($3 billion), and said police would be given more powers to stop and search the public.

#3  You can't be serious. 'Properly rehabilitated' rapists and murderers ?

Clearly he is serious about longer sentences, Dron66046. The rest is politically necessary boilerplate, I suspect.

Much as people are hoping he's going to be different, I just don't see it.
