The popular Sentencing Guidelines Supplement continues to include all new sentencing guidelines in print, as the Sentencing Council moves to an online-only format: having the guidelines to hand in print has become more valuable than ever. New guidelines include the new guideline for perverting the course of justice and revised definitive guidelines on child cruelty and motoring offences. Relevant authorities for the guidelines can be found in Part III of the sentencing supplement.
