Key Principle

In deciding whether to impose corrective training the court applies a two-stage inquiry - first whether the offender qualifies for the regime, and second whether corrective training is expedient with a view to reformation and the prevention of crime - and corrective training should not be imposed where it would be unduly disproportionate to the likely aggregate term of regular imprisonment.
