We continue to keep sentencing policies and arrangements under review and will bring forward proposals for change as appropriate. On 11 June I announced proposals for new arrangements for the sentencing and management of serious violent and sexual offenders. These proposals will be included in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill.
