Soft sentences

Chris made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Chris to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Chris

Dear Ministry of Justice,

Will the ministry will hold judges accountable for soft sentencing.
Like this story https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/ne...

12 months home detention and some community service for 4 counts of Manslaughter??

Also youths that do ramriads only getting 4 and half years in jail and the victim ask for something too and the judge just given the youths 4 and half years.

1. Will the judges be accountable for being to soft.
2. Why does judges hand down soft sentences for repeat offenders.
3. Why are the youths are on a catch and release program and once they catch them they get let go back into the community.
4. Why does the victims from any crime get heard and the judges does not take on the side of the victims.
5. Why does judges give big discounts up to 50% off there sentencing.

Yours faithfully,

Chris
