Abstract
This paper aims to provide an update on two developing and related areas in sentencing. First, in Part one, Henry Benson-Pope discusses the likely operation of the exception to the 40% cap on sentencing discounts for personal mitigating factors when it would result in manifest injustice. Second, in Part two Chris Merrick considers the relevance of youth justice principles and practice in sentencing of young people in the general criminal jurisdiction.
