There have been 38 “super-prolific” offenders in England and Wales since 2008, with more than 100 previous convictions or cautions each, according to Ministry of Justice data.
Last year 98 people who were jailed for the first time for possessing a blade each had more than 50 past convictions and cautions. Of these, six had more than 100 each. DT
Incredibly some people believe that first time criminals are being jailed for relatively minor offences.
