The Prime Minister is poised to announce a crackdown on the worst criminals
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is reportedly set to announce proposals which would force convicted rapists to serve their full sentence as part of a ‘gear change’ on crime. The Daily Mail reports that Justice Secretary Alex Chalk was asked to draw up the proposals and the changes are likely to be included in the King’s Speech in November and feature in a speech in the coming weeks.
Last month he announced he would look at changing laws so that convicted criminals are compelled to attend sentencing hearings after murderer Lucy Letby did not attend her hearing. He also announced offenders who commit the most heinous murders will face life behind bars with no chance of being released.
The Prime Minister said last month: “I have shared the public’s horror at the cruelty of crimes we have seen recently. People rightly expect that in the most serious cases, there should be a guarantee that life will mean life. They expect honesty in sentencing.
