Our primary, statutory role is to develop sentencing guidelines, which the courts must follow unless it is in the interests of justice not to do so. The Council must also: • monitor how guidelines are used • assess the impact of guidelines on sentencing practice, and • promote public confidence in sentencing There are 14 members of the Council: 8 judicial and 6 non-judicial, representing policing, prosecution, defence, probation, academia and victims.
