The Consequences of Crime: From Sentencing to Heartache.

The aunt of a murdered law graduate has called for criminals to be forced to appear in person when being sentenced, after the killer of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel refused to enter the dock. Farah Naz said Zara Aleena's killer, who also refused to go into the dock, wrongly took power in the courtroom. She called on Justice Secretary Dominic Raab to ensure such offenders should also have their sentences increased. Steve Reed, shadow justice secretary, has also repeated Labour's calls for a change in the law to force criminals to face justice.
