Peter McClellan: Sentencing is a controversial topic. You often hear complaints that a sentence is too low, especially when the offender is guilty of a violent or sexual crime.
This podcast, Sentencing Explained, is brought to you by the NSW Sentencing Council. In this podcast series, we will talk with a number of judges of different NSW courts who will discuss the statutory framework for sentencing and how judges go about their tasks.
We will also talk to prosecutors, defence counsel and discuss imprisonment and the parole system. We hope you will find the podcast interesting and informative.
Jim Minns: Sentencing Explained: the new podcast from the NSW Sentencing Council, will be available on all podcasting platforms in October.
