I read a *lot* of crime reports from arrest until sentencing, have done so for 35+ years ( I once wanted to be a crime reporter), and there seems to be a wider problem where crimes of violence (including sexual violence) committed by both teens and young adult men get surprisingly light non-custodial penalties.

I see it all the time especially in news reports from Northern England, its as if "lads are expected to be violent", I also see a lot of repeat offenders for these violent crimes (including in my region) even after some have served time which shows there isn't even much true rehabilitation within the prison estate..
