Fourteen offences will be added to the unduly lenient sentence scheme in England and Wales which allows people to ask for a sentence to be reviewed by the Attorney General’s Office, even if they are not connected to the case.
Those who believe sentences of those involved in cases of stalking, harassment, abuse by a person in a position of trust and other sex crimes are too lenient will be able to challenge court punishments.
Crimes like murder and robbery are among some of the crimes already heard through the scheme.
