皇冠体育app Sentencing Council wishes to give people the chance to see and comment on proposals for how courts should sentence people convicted of dangerous dog offences. 皇冠体育app proposals follow changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, which came into force last year. 皇冠体育appse changes brought about very substantial increases to the maximum sentences for these offences, extended the law to cover offences on private property and introduced a new offence to cover attacks on assistance dogs.

New sentencing guidelines are therefore being produced to reflect the changes to legislation and to provide updated guidance for judges and magistrates to use in sentencing these cases, which can include those involving a fatality.

皇冠体育app consultation closes on 9 June 2015.
