[2007] EWCA Crim 2172

In assessing an offender's dangerousness under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.229, the court was entitled to rely on the facts of a previous offence even where they had no relationship to the current offence. Section 225 did not require any kind of nexus between the facts of the current offence and the finding of dangerousness.
