| description | This article examines an under-explored area of sentencing law in England and Wales: sentencing outside the definitive guidelines.

Sentencing outside the definitive sentencing guidelines is of course not restricted to riot-related offending; other circumstances will inevitably arise which impel courts to depart from the guidelines ranges. Accordingly, it is worth exploring the ways in which courts might sentence offenders for criminal acts unforeseen by the guidelines authority. © [2012] Thomson Reuters (UK) Professional Limited. |
