Two teenage boys given custodial sentences after Attorney General intervenes

The Attorney General has the power to review sentences handed down by the courts to ensure they are in line with sentencing guidelines and the public interest. In cases where the Attorney General intervenes, it is typically because the original sentence is deemed unduly lenient. The use of this power can provide insight into the government's stance on certain types of crimes and the sentencing of young offenders.
