They all work different ways. Blunt's answer is clearly American. This has happened to me in England, probation gave a nice report, and that recommended a light sentence, but the judge ignored it and sent me to prison for 2 years.

Judges get nice reports from probation all the time and as far as he was concerned, he's following the sentencing guidelines, and he was "not minded to give a non-custodial sentence". One overriding principle is that there is a "custody threshold" - there comes a point at which only prison will do, and THEN he thinks about how long for. Assuming you are British, the best advice you will get will come from your solicitor.

Mine took me through the sentencing guidelines for the offence and he turned out to be right.

Court reports and recommendations will be taken into consideration by the judge and they will then pass the sentence.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
