However, intersectional analyses reveal nuanced patterns; for instance, white male offenders require over 50% longer criminal records than black male offenders before crossing the custody threshold, while no significant differences are observed between black and white female offenders.

These subjective perceptions are congruent with the scientific evidence most widely shared. The Lammy Review (2017) documented ethnic disparities throughout the criminal justice system. In relation to sentencing, they referred to a study conducted by the Ministry of Justice (Hopkins, 2016), highlighting how the odds of receiving a custodial sentence are 240% higher for ethnic minority offenders compared to white offenders charged with the same drug offence and equivalent criminal histories and propensities to plead guilty.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="7D162C6A" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="002F73A9" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="002F73A9" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="4C1F8744" w14:textId="56B2DB90" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t>Odds ratios are notoriously difficult to interpret, but a 240% disparity is simply huge. To put this in context, and assuming a baseline probability of custody of 0.50 for white offenders, 240 higher odds for ethnic minority offenders would represent a probability of custody close to 0.77, i.e., a custody rate differential of 27 percentage points. This shocking data point has been extremely influential in signifying the presence of vast ethnic disparities in sentencing in England and Wales. Specifically, the above odds ratio has been referred to in almost every discussion on the topic following the Lammy Review.

The claim of 240% higher odds of incarceration for ethnic minority offenders, cited in the Lammy Review and echoed in subsequent publications and debates, is factually incorrect. This figure does not appear in the original study referenced by the Lammy Review (Hopkins, 2016). Instead, the study reported an odds ratio of 2.37 for ethnic disparities among drug offenders - approximately 2.4 for simplicity - which equates to a 140% increase in odds, not 240%.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="1BC837A1" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:lastRenderedPageBreak/><w:t>While these disparities are deeply concerning and merit further investigation, it is essential to recognise that the actual magnitude of the reported disparities is nearly half of what has been claimed.

Most repeat the 240% higher odds for ethnic minority drug offenders but fail to mention that the same study found no significant disparities in sentencing for sex or violent offences.

Both are expected to affect sentence severity, and both are potentially unevenly distributed across ethnic groups (HM Inspectorate of Probations, 2021). Besides legal factors considered in pre-sentence reports, there are other relevant factors that were not captured in the survey for reasons of confidentiality, most importantly, whether the offender assisted with the prosecution of other cases.

Since the original dataset was unavailable, the study recreated a dataset approximating the key statistical properties of the one used by the Sentencing Council, as reported in Isaac (2021). These properties included metrics such as the custody rate for white and black offenders and the estimated effect of ethnicity on custody probability.

All studies mentioned so far in this review condition on guilty plea, however, they do not always capture the timing of the guilty plea, or the specific reduction allowed by the judge, which might be explaining some of the observed disparities. The same report showed the percentage of sentences corresponding with pre-sentence recommendations of custody appeared to be equally distributed across ethnic groups.

Therefore, it is possible that some of the observed disparities noted in the literature might be stemming from upstream decisions relating to how the case was constructed by the probation officer and the magistrate/judge.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="5ED76430" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="00CC5764" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="00CC5764" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="6602DAFC" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve">In summary, reviewing the latest evidence on the subject we have learnt that ethnic disparities </w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:iCs/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve">are </w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve">mostly present </w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="gramStart"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t>in:</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="gramEnd"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve"> i) male offenders; ii) drug offences; iii) decisions of custody </w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="gramStart"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t>and;</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="gramEnd"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve"> iv) personal mitigating factors.

Recent findings might be used to further enhance some of these efforts. For example, the reminder/note in drug offence sentencing guidelines highlighting there is evidence of ethnic disparities in sentencing outcomes could be updated to specifically state that the evidence of ethnic disparities relates to decisions of custody for male offenders being sentencing for drug offences. This additional specificity might help focus attention on cases where the research evidence has shown disparities are mostly likely to arise.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="6D77D84F" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="00CC5764" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="00CC5764" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr></w:p><w:bookmarkEnd w:id="1"/><w:p w14:paraId="39F0DEF1" w14:textId="6459FA96" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve">In addition, based on recent findings, we argue there is scope to go even further and broaden these efforts.

It would also allow judges to better consider and impose non-custodial sanctions for ethnic minority offenders. As recent findings have shown, ethnic disparities likely stem, at least in part, from the judicial assessment of personal mitigating factors and disparities are mostly present in decisions of custody rather than sentence length. It is the decision regarding custody where pre-sentence reports are most influential. As well as improving the availability and quality of pre-sentence reports, it is also important that suitable programmes and services are available in the community for ethnic minority groups. Research has shown that ethnic minority groups face additional barriers in accessing drug and alcohol treatment (Fountain 2009). This can include language barriers, stigma and cultural differences, mistrust of mainstream services and experiences of racial prejudice. These barriers can prevent ethnic minority groups from engaging with treatment services which in turn can impact risk assessments and rehabilitative potential.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="76F13644" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="00CC5764" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="00CC5764" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="68A58676" w14:textId="3C60F059" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve">In 2021, HM Inspectorate of Probation found that there were very few treatment programmes available specifically for ethnic minority users (p29).

The inspectorate recommended the development of a national race equality strategy for probation service delivery, supplemented by strategic needs assessments in each probation region, to ensure that ethnic minority service users are not disadvantaged (p12).

Improving legal aid access could help enhance ethnic minority defendants' trust in the justice system, increase guilty pleas where appropriate, and address potential issues of courtroom demeanour. Currently, there remains a relatively wide disparity in guilty pleas across ethnic groups (Ministry of Justice, 2024). Additionally, the expanded explanations in sentencing guidelines could be used to warn about potential biases in attributing ‘good character’ or ‘remorse’ to ethnic minority offenders, with similar reminders given to probation officers writing pre-sentence reports. Doing so could help to reduce the uneven distribution of these impactful mitigating factors across ethnic groups which was observed by Guilfoyle and Pina-Sánchez (2024) and identified as likely sources of ethnic disparities in sentencing outcomes.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="50728F8A" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="0073421E" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="0073421E" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="568161D8" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="ListParagraph"/><w:numPr><w:ilvl w:val="1"/><w:numId w:val="5"/></w:numPr><w:spacing w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:asciiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:hAnsiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:iCs/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/><w:u w:val="single"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:asciiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:hAnsiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:iCs/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/><w:u w:val="single"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve">Imposition of Community and Custodial Sentences </w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="3C939082" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:i/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:bookmarkStart w:id="3" w:name="_Hlk192178901"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t>Since the pre-print of this article, the Sentencing Council has published a revised Sentencing Guideline on the ‘</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:i/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t>Imposition of Community and Custodial Sentences’</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve">, set to take effect on 1 April 2025 (Sentencing Council 2025).

In this context, prioritising pre-sentence reports for specific cohorts - such as ethnic and cultural minorities - has merit, as it equips judges with critical insights into cultural backgrounds, structural disadvantages, and potential barriers to accessing rehabilitative services, and in doing so, should help to reduce ethnic disparities in sentencing outcomes. However, if this is the approach taken, then in our view, it is important for ‘deprived backgrounds’ to also be specified in the guideline as a cohort for whom a pre-sentence report should normally be requested. This would address criticisms that the guideline is seeking to reduce some documented disparities (ethnic/cultural) but not others (social class), while it will also contribute to redress the equally important deprivation-related disparities that have been recently detected (Pina-Sánchez et al., 2025).</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="254B1555" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="006621FC" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="006621FC" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="4A06F7BF" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="000A5AAD" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="000A5AAD" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:lastRenderedPageBreak/><w:t>Furthermore, it would be beneficial to explicitly frame the approach the Sentencing Council is taking in the revised guideline as a necessary short-term measure, with the long-term goal remaining the universal provision of high-quality pre-sentence reports.

Additional further insights into the reasons behind the large disparities in guilty pleas would be of benefit too.

We are therefore convinced that by identifying the specific mechanisms through which disparities come to be, we will be able to redress them.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="30DBAFCF" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="00246AF7" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="00246AF7" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:ind w:left="-5" w:right="50"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="07930768" w14:textId="77777777" w:rsidR="00B55591" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="00B55591" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="Heading2"/><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:ind w:left="-5"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:asciiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:hAnsiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:asciiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:hAnsiTheme="minorHAnsi" w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t>Acknowledgements/Funding</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w14:paraId="2E8FDDED" w14:textId="5392DE51" w:rsidR="00B55591" w:rsidRPr="00C241C3" w:rsidRDefault="00C241C3" w:rsidP="00C241C3"><w:pPr><w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="480" w:lineRule="auto"/><w:ind w:left="-5" w:right="50"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r w:rsidRPr="00C241C3"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:cstheme="minorHAnsi"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:szCs w:val="24"/></w:rPr><w:t>This work was supported by the Secondary Data Analysis Initiative of the Economic and Social Research Council (Grant Ref: ES/W00738X/1).
