What is the OLR ?
The OLR (Order for Lifelong Restriction) is a sentence that can be imposed by a Judge of the High Court of Justiciary on serious violent and sexual offenders in Scotland
Why it is ineffective
The OLR is a life sentence which can be given for a much larger range of offences, including a pattern of minor offences.
Why it is Damaging
The Centre for Crime and Justice Studies published a report in 2022 which likened indeterminate sentences to psychological torture.
What we are doing
We are pushing for change with the Scottish Government. We need it to see how the OLR affects Scotland’s reputation as a fair and just Country.
