Sentencing Reform Podcast

BBC Radio 4’s Law in Action is always a good source of accessible legal analysis and a good way to deliver up-to-date content in a different way to your students. For example, you can listen to a podcast on the likely impact Ken Clarke’s sentencing reforms here. A great starter to a debate on sentencing theory and competing objectives such as public protection and rehabilitation - including a great bit with Ken Clarke in his usual relaxed tones explaining his justification for discounting sentences based on an early guilty plea after about 5 minutes.
