An offender had satisfied the dangerousness test and therefore a sentence of detention for public protection with a minimum term of four years imposed for attempted robbery and wounding with intent was not manifestly excessive. However, due to the age of the offender he should have been sentenced to imprisonment for public protection rather than detention for public protection.
