本报告总结了英格兰和威尔士不同族裔群体的判刑结果。它基于对2009-2019年期间法院数据的分析。所有以前发表的报告都分别提供了关于羁押率和平均监禁刑期的数据。在本报告中，我们将这两项措施联合收割机合并，形成一项对可公诉罪行的新惩罚措施：“预期监禁刑罚”。这一措施提供了一个更全面的衡量监禁使用情况的尺度。虽然在2009-2019年期间，所有族裔群体的预期监禁刑期都有所增加，但白色罪犯的数字始终低于其他族裔群体。于2019年，可公诉罪行的预期监禁刑期介乎白色罪犯的6. 6个月及亚裔罪犯的10. 2个月。然而，总体预期监禁判决数字掩盖了不同犯罪类别之间的巨大差异，其中对人身的暴力犯罪的差异最大。
This report summarizes sentencing outcomes for different ethnic groups in England and Wales. It is based on analyses of court data over the period 2009-2019. All previously published reports present the data on custody rates and on average custodial sentence lengths separately. In this report, we combine these two measures to form a new measure of punitiveness for indictable offences: the ‘Expected Custodial Sentence’. This measure provides a more comprehensive measure of the use of imprisonment. Whilst the Expected Custodial Sentence increased for all ethnic groups throughout the period 2009-2019, the figure for White offenders is consistently lower than for other ethnic groups. In 2019, the Expected Custodial Sentence for an indictable offence ranged between 6.6 months for a White offender and 10.2 months for an Asian offender. However, the overall Expected Custodial Sentence figure masks considerable variation across offence categories, with the greatest divergence evident for violent offences against the person.
