The Sentencing Council has published a review that collates evidence on the effectiveness of different sentencing options on reoffending.

The review was commissioned in response to a commitment made by the Council in its Strategic Objectives 2021-2026 and to enable the Council to consider the most recent evidence when developing and revising guidelines.
