Number 14 — Sentencing deception offenders: Part 2 — higher courts

Sentencing deception offenders: Part 2 — higher courts

This paper is the second part of a study focusing on sentencing of deception offenders. Part 1 dealt with offenders in the Local Courts jurisdiction,[1] and Part 2 examines data from the higher courts. The types of offences are similar to those dealt with in the Local Courts, but obviously they are more serious, involving greater amounts of money. A summary of the various offences and penalties will be presented, together with a profile of offenders.
