Pre-Sentence report

Pre-Sentence Reports

A presentence report is an independent psychological evaluation sought by legal teams to assist a magistrate or judge in making sentencing decisions in cases where there may be mitigating factors to consider.

Our experts meticulously prepare each presentence report using evidence-based methodologies to provide objective analysis and recommendations to the court.

A presentence report can be highly beneficial for individuals who have been charged with a crime. These reports help the court gain a better understanding of someone’s situation and ‘mitigating factors’, such as psychological state, which may result in a lesser penalty.

Our team of professionals includes psychologists and forensic experts who conduct detailed evaluations to assess various aspects of an individual’s background, behaviour and circumstances. This includes an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the allegations, an evaluation of the likelihood of reoffending, and consideration of an individual’s suitability for treatment.

We are committed to delivering presentence reports that support fair and just outcomes in legal proceedings.

We ensure each sentence assessment report is clear, comprehensive and focused on aiding a magistrate or judge to make an informed sentencing decision.
