Comparative Sentencing Tables

The Comparative Sentencing Tables outline decisions of appeal hearings that consider the sentences imposed for various criminal offences. The Tables are published to assist legal practitioners and members of the public. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the summaries the Tables are not prepared as a substitute for reading the decisions of the appeal hearings that are published on the website of the Supreme Court of WA.
