Paper 2
Revise: Punishment and SentencingThe evidence does not show that making prison sentences longer automatically produces stronger deterrence or less reoffending.
Distinguish a sentence’s purpose from its outcome: prison aims to deter, but that does not prove it prevents reoffending.
Date any reoffending figures you use. Different groups receive different sentences, so a lower rate does not by itself prove that the sentence caused the improvement.
