Consider implementing a press judges model to proactively disseminate information on sentencing judgments.
Conclusion
In order to improve the quality of information in the public domain on sentencing, the judiciary should consider whether the model of press judges, as used in Finland and the Netherlands, could be used. The changing nature of the media landscape means that there is a strong case for taking a more proactive approach to providing information to the public on judgments, including sentencing.
