À propos de cet audio
In this episode the team talk about the unique Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR) in Scotland, and the Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) in England and Wales. These are indeterminate sentences - they don't have a fixed release date.
The OLR was introduced in Scotland in 2006 and can only be imposed by the high court. With the OLR, it's possible that the index offence – the crime the individual has been convicted of – may not be a serious violent or sexual offence, but part of a pattern which demonstrates serious harm. The purpose of the sentence is to protect the public from the risk of serious harm. It is made up of a punishment part served in custody, and lifelong risk management. In this epsiode the team discuss the sentence, how it's managed in custody and community, and some of the recent Risk Management Authority research to better understand the experience of the OLR, to better support individuals' progression whilst maintaining public protection.
