[2007] EWCA Crim 1139

Where there had been a previous conviction for a relevant offence, it would be unreasonable to conclude that the assumption of dangerousness under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.229(3) applied where there was no pattern of behaviour, the offender's personal life was stable, and the pre-sentence report assessed him as not meeting the criteria of dangerousness.
