Sentence examples for individual offence from inspiring English sources

The results reflect the limited sentencing powers of the magistrates courts, which cannot pass a sentence of more than six months for an individual offence.

The individual offence is intended to punish anyone in the 1.35m-strong NHS workforce in England who has mistreated someone deliberately or with a "couldn't care less" attitude.

The purpose of this article is to further efforts to analyse these variations by assessing the accuracy of different methods for estimating the most common offence times for certain types of crime for which individual offence times are not known.

Further work on the prevalence of individual violent offence types is therefore required to ascertain the generalisability of this finding to other jurisdictions.
