Sentences were increased for 106 offenders under the Unduly Lenient Scheme in 2021, according to government statistics published last week.
The Law Officers received applications for 678 sentences which met the criteria to be considered under the scheme, of which 151 were referred to the Court of Appeal.
Offenders whose sentences were increased include Thomas Hughes, whose abuse led to the death of his six-year-old son, Arthur Labinjo-Hughes; and Ben John, the 22-year-old told to read classic literature after committing domestic terrorism offences.
