"More than 60 judges have imposed “unduly lenient” sentences on offenders convicted of some of the most serious crimes, according to figures published yesterday. The Court of Appeal ruled in 86 cases across England and Wales last year that judges had given criminals — including terrorists, murderers and rapists — a sentence that was too light. The appeal judges increased sentences overall in 70 per cent of cases that were referred for reconsideration — with the biggest single category of increases, 83 per cent, being for violent offences."
