Crime QRH (Quick Reference Handbook) is an easy to use guide to criminal offences in England and Wales, for criminal lawyers and court advocates. Recently updated for 2023.
It's a searchable database of offences, providing quick access to key details:
- maximum sentence
- mode of trial (including grave crimes)
- sentencing guidelines
- statutory provision
- statutory alternative offences
- page references to Archbold and Blackstones
- mandatory minimum sentences
- dangerousness provisions
- obligatory/discretionary driving disqualifications and endorsements
- availability of SHPOs, SCPOs, Unduly Lenient Sentence referrals, SOA Notification Requirements, and POCA
Quickly identify the statutory provision, maximum sentence, mode of trial, and Archbold/Blackstone's page reference.
All of the common indictable-only, triable-either-way, and summary-only offences are covered in the App.
Where applicable, access the live Magistrates' Court and Crown Court Sentencing Guidelines for an offence with a single tap.
Any special provisions applicable to the offence are flagged up - for example, easily see if there is a mandatory-minimum sentence, if the offence requires a consideration of 'dangerousness', or if the offence attracts Notification Requirements.
Developed by Sam Willis, a barrister at 5 King's Bench Walk.
