Our thanks to Nigel for this. Extracts:

“District Judge Michelle Smith described the attack as one of the most serious types of offence Birmingham Magistrates’ Court had the power to deal with but she ultimately spared them jail.

Both were handed suspended prison sentences and Intensive Supervision Court (ISC) orders, currently only available to low-level female offenders [J4MB emphasis] in the city…

Judge Smith considered committing the case to the city’s crown court, which has greater sentencing powers, but concluded she could retain it due to the defendants’ early guilty pleas, [J4MB emphasis: how could they have denied guilt?] resulting in a one-third reduction to their punishment.”

  1. The ISC Pilot review is interesting “There were gendered patterns in the main offence types of people on the ISC. Drug possession or supply was one of the most common offences amongst people on the ISC and this was mainly committed by men.

    Theft (mostly shoplifting), violence and assaults on emergency workers were the other most common offence types and all three were largely committed by women”

    You will notice that the offences that were treated with ISC were possession offences. The women including violence and assaults. In short the males were those with very minor offences. In fact in the evaluation respondents note this hoping that will be extended for Males to more serious offences. (spoiler it wasn’t). And the Birmingham Womens court issued far more ISC orders than the others for much more serious crimes. Process evaluation of the Intensive Supervision Courts pilot: Final Report

    Of course the end result is what is wanted, “trauma informed” courts for women and special orders even for violence and assaults. Because the research could hardly recommend anything else it the plan is never to imprison women no matter who they beat up!
