[2008] EWCA Crim 1403

A sentence of detention for public protection with a minimum term of two-and-a-half years imposed for wounding with intent, attempted robbery and inflicting grievous bodily harm was not wrong in principle as the judge had assessed an offender's future risk to the public and correctly applied the dangerousness test.
