Sentencing Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jerome Mayhew (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Sentencing Bill.

My right hon. Friend is making a powerful point with which I substantially agree, but does he accept that with the rise of technology, there are many different ways of depriving people of their liberty? If we can come up with ways of depriving them of their liberty that also make it less likely that they will reoffend at the end of their sentences, does that not serve a dual purpose, being both the absolutely right moral judgment as a punishment and a way of reducing the number of future victims who will subsequently need to be served by the criminal justice system?
