Former criminal judge Sir Brian Leveson emphasizes that longer prison sentences do not deter crime, arguing that crime detection is a more effective method of reducing offenses.
Leveson highlights the need for increased social care for offenders, stating it is crucial for preventing crime rather than solely relying on extended incarceration.
Experts, including Sir Brian, note that the UK's rising prison population may be linked to changes in law over decades and indicates an ineffective approach to crime deterrence.
In a call for reform, former judges argue that evidence shows longer sentences have not significantly impacted crime rates, questioning the trend of growing sentence lengths.
