The BBC website has reported that the riots that following Mark Duggan being shot by the police have resulted in a total of 1,292 offenders being jailed for their part in the riots with an average custodial sentence of 16.8 months. "this is more than four times the average term handed down by magistrates' courts for similar offences".

Now that the Crown Prosecution Service's chief prosecutor Alison Saunders has realised that the CPS can get people into court and sentenced fast and it acts as a deterrent.

Are the CPS going to change policy and deliver hard and fast justice in the future?
