Positive Discrimination and Stupidity!
Who actually thinks these things up ??
Judges ordered to show more mercy on women criminals when deciding sentences
New guidelines declare that women suffer disadvantages and courts should ‘bear these matters in mind’.
The rules say women criminals often have poor mental health or are poorly educated, have not committed violence and have children to look after.
‘Women’s experiences as victims, witnesses and offenders are in many respects different to those of men,’ according to the Equal Treatment Bench Book.
‘These differences highlight the importance of the need for sentencers to bear these matters in mind when sentencing.’
The controversial advice comes from the Judicial Studies Board, which is responsible for training the judiciary.
In the past, the board has caused upset by suggesting Rastafarians have religious beliefs which allow them to use cannabis.
