In 2023, 2057 people were asked whether they thought average custodial sentence for indictable offences was shorter, longer or the same as it was in 2012.
30% said shorter. 21% said longer. 23% said about the same. 26% said don't know.
Average sentence (excluding life and indeterminate sentences) in 2012 was 14.5 months. In 2021, it was 21.9 months. In 2023, it 23.3.
Another instance of "survey says British public wrong about nearly everything".
