Monitor the rates of offending and sentencing patterns for sexual offences not contained in the Table of SNPPs, with a view to their possible inclusion in the Table at a later date; 2. Give consideration to standardising the SNPPs for sexual (and other) offences within a band of 40–60% of the available maximum penalty, subject to the possibility of individual exceptions, by reference to an assessment of the incidence of offending and special considerations relating thereto; 3. Consider potential additions to the SNPP scheme, involving the level or levels at which the SNPP might be appropriately set; 4. Give consideration to the establishment of a transparent mechanism by which a decision is made to include a particular offence in the Table, and by which the relevant SNPP is set; and 5. Consider the identification of sexual offences that might justify an application for a guideline judgment, following its ongoing monitoring of relevant sentencing patterns. By reason of the overlap between the terms of reference given to the Council; and the general responsibility of the Council to review and report on sentencing trends and practices, the Attorney General has invited the two agencies to work in collaboration with each other in relation to the Sentencing Reference.
