520			_aThis Ministry of Justice report stems from growing concern that physical abusers of younger children receive lighter sentences than abusers of adults. Ministry of Justice carried out a study of 782 case files to see if this is the reality. There was no correlation between the age of the victims and the percentage of custodial sentences, however there was a lower average sentence length for crimes against victims aged 14 and under. This sentence length was 5 months lower than sentences for crimes against those 20 years and older and 6 months less than those victims aged 15-19.
