ACORDING TO THE C.P.S. THERE A LOT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THERE ANYWAY!!

So tht means tens of thousands of more crimes will be committed ,,have a word..

its easy to fix.3 strikes and you get a automatic 15 years.simple really

This is nothing more than a criminal charter allowing them to carry on their nefarious activities unchecked, it's their victims who continue to suffer.

Disgraceful

This will empower all scumbags! It will allow them 2 destroy communities & put small shops out of business. It will allow them 2 damage, assault, burgle & steal 2 hearts content! Drug abuse will be funded by the additional crime! Decent people’s lives will be ruined! Disgusted 🤬

MoJGovUK cpsuk UKjudgesforum sajidjavid Oh that’ll help reduce crime. How stupid. Sentences should be increased. It’s very unusual that someone goes to prison for first or even second or third conviction.

That will save the government money never mind making the streets safer

Instead of putting them in prison put them in the forces for minimum of two years

Strange how this all gets forgotten at election time....

No consequences just emboldens the criminal to go even further. Now the system is just going to have “robust” community options. My arse. They can serve their community by picking up garbage on St Kilda 40 miles of Uist in the North Atlantic.

Fantastic Deterrent ,,,,, NOT 😡😡😡

If I’m a victim of a crime and the person would get let’s say 5 months but then not go to prison how am I then still a victims if they walk free, what happens after they have violated my property let’s say I meet them on the street Free?

A better way to reduce the prison population would be to give out much, much harsher sentences for all crimes (even the 'petty' ones) so that some people might actually be deterred from committing crime

So now not only will they carry knives but they’ll carry them and still not go to prison. That’s great. Good jobs guys, you’ve nailed it.🤦🏻‍♂️

We have a plan ! Great, what isit. We’re going to avoid short prison sentences for foreign criminals, that way we can save space in prisons.... erhhhh.

David Gauke is not fit for office . Any office

Its our own fault, we don't do anything about and people voted in the Tory,s.

The Tories are the party of crime and criminality. They don't know what law and order is,or how to achieve it.

Par for todays lack of Police and crime detection. The bottom line, let minor crime go. Chase cars and kill innocents, and reap the lack of Police presence except for speeding and car crime. The bottom line must be local police and presence. Our Police station is a toilet stop.

Another brain dead idea

If short term prison sentences are considered ineffective then they should be increased not scrapped and they should be whole term sentences.

What a bloody joke

Abolish short jail terms - ministerDavid Gauke says prison is not working for many inmates and should be replaced by community orders. No point having a deterrent then ? These scummy people will never change whether they’re given six months or community service but if they’re in prison for six months, they’re not out stealing from decent people. Build more prisons. 🖊 yes she's right.......... increase them!
