doctor brooks gordon, you welcome this move by the government potential he? very much so, yes, it's a welcome step in the right direction. why? well because it works. we know the community penalties work better than short prison sentences. very often short prison sentences. very often short prison sentences mean that people go into prison, don't have time to address the offending behaviour, or the things that made them offend, and they come out sometimes very angry, not having sometimes very angry, not having some of the skills that would be able to prevent offending, and enter the same cycle. peter kirk, it seems that from some of the figures, the level of reoffending is higherfor those given shorter sentences than overall, so isn't this a sensible option? it is comic but yet the criminals are misrepresented in statistics, and they're going from statistics rather than digging into those statistics. we've got a situation where nobody goes to prison, hardly anybody goes to prison for a first offe nce. anybody goes to prison for a first offence. so by the time
