NSW Law Reform Commission review of sentencing laws
On 23 September 2011, the Attorney General asked the NSW Law Reform Commission (LRC) to review the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW).
Further information about the LRC's review is available on the Commission's website.
The Attorney General has invited the Council and the LRC to work in collaboration with each other in relation to the review.
As such, rather than make recommendations for reform, the Council prepared this paper as a background paper designed to assist the broader review to be conducted by the NSW LRC.
