From a plumber who tried to groom a 12-year-old girl on Facebook, to a drunken man who robbed a taxi driver and threatened to stab him, these offenders have all been brought to justice.
In the headlines this month were two brutal killers, who were also handed sentences for their crimes.
After a particularly busy month for judges at Leeds Crown Court, here are 48 of the criminals who appeared in the dock -
7. Philip Land
Philip Land, 57, of Huntwick Drive, Featherstone, was jailed for 12 months, which will run concurrently to an existing sentence, after he admitted breaching an SHPO. The paedophile, who nicknamed his genitals “Sid” when he tried to groom a 12-year-old online, was caught hiding internet phones. | West Yorkshire Police/PA

10. John Greenwood
John Greenwood, 68, of Broach Lane, Kellington, was jailed for six years after he was found guilty after a trial of six counts of indecent assault. It came nearly 40 years after the pensioner spent years sexually abusing a young boy. The court heard that there were elements of grooming behaviour, like leaving money for the boy and luring him to his home so the youngster could borrow the latest computer games. | West Yorkshire Police/Adobe
