The Scottish Sentencing Council (SSC) has launched a new interactive case study resource on its website.
The new resource presents an interactive scenario, following the court case of “Paul”, who has robbed a shop. As web users go through the case, they decide what happens next and choose what sentence they would give Paul - if they were the presiding sheriff.
This new resource is an addition to the SSC’s pages on sentencing laws; the factors a judge will consider when deciding a sentence and the sentences available in Scotland.
All the information is linked to a jargon buster which explains legal terminology in simple language.
The SSC is continuing to expand its website and if you would like to suggest further additions please email sentencingcouncil@scotcourts.gov.uk.
