Abstract

This article summarises the Sentencing Council's proposed revision of its Drug Offences Definitive Guideline (Consultation Paper, January 2020). The article discusses the basis on which "harm " is assessed under the guideline and it identifies matters which, given the complexity of UK drug laws and social behaviours with respect to drugs, expose the challenges of formulating a guideline that is apt in every case.
