Social Enquiry Reports









                     “We do recognize the utility of social enquiry reports in sentencing and



                     cannot  downplay  their  importance  to  the  process.  Indeed,  obtaining  a


                     social enquiry report before sentencing an offender is accepted as being a


                     good sentencing practice.” – Michael Evans v R [2015] JMCA Crim 33.
