187 Words1 Pages
2 In recent years, mandatory sentencing laws have been introduced in NSW. Alcohol related violence mandatory sentence was introduced by the NSW government On 21 January 2014. This was introduced because of the amount of one-punch hits while intoxicated. Teens such as Thomas Kelly and Daniel Christie have been killed because intoxicated people for no reason hit them. In 2011 the government passed a bill for mandatory sentence for the murder of police officers this stated life imprisonment would occur to the murderer. Many people would target police officers and would get a less severe punishment for it that is why this has been introduced. An example of this is On 2 March 2012, police officer David Rixon was killed Michael Jacobs got life imprison.
