Sentencing guidelines ditched after ‘two-tier’ row

Good news on the BBC. The start of the piece:

“New rules on sentencing criminals from ethnic minorities have been abandoned following a weeks-long standoff between senior judges and the government.

Shabana Mahmood, the justice secretary, believed the proposals from top judges would have created a “two-tier” justice system. [J4MB: It is already, of course, a two-tier system with regards to gender.]

The new guidelines, which had been in development for months, told judges to seek extra information before deciding how to punish offenders from certain minority groups. [J4MB: And one majority group, females.]”

Women put off cycling by safety fears and intimidating drivers, study finds

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“An oh so boring story. Appearing in many outlets this is just so typical. Men it seems recognise that conditions for cyclists have improved. While women have not changed their reluctance. Out comes the “gap”. But the truth is probably that no matter what is done women will remain reluctant and not shift their views, because its a set of feelings rather than an actual analysis of conditions. As with so many things chasing these feelings the authorities will never narrow the gap, even if they came up with women only cycle lanes! One of the endless series of chasing “gaps” when the truth is women are generally more risk averse.”

Brad Burton and Sam Wall met for 30 seconds – she then stalked him for four years

Our thanks to Jeff for this. The judge is evidently a comedian:

“Her sentencing was delayed for a second time last week, but the judge told her to expect a prison sentence.”

Janice Fiamengo: “Sexual Misconduct Looks Different When a Woman is the Perpetrator (and like many such cases, the real story behind Iceland’s former Minister for Children is probably complicated).”

Interesting and as always with Janice’s pieces, the comments section is well worth exploring.
