How to avoid “Double Counting”
• Offenders can be sentenced for more than
one offence at the same time in particular
circumstances, generally where these
offences are linked.
• When sentencing for more than one offence,
the court is seeking to ensure that the total
sentence reflects all the offending behaviour
and is therefore just and proportionate.
