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 -
19. Jamie Fullalove
Jamie Fullalove, 23, of Westcombe Court, Wyke, Bradford, was jailed for five years and seven months after admitted two charges of dealing in Class A drugs. The dealer was caught selling drugs for a third time, after police became suspicious of a Peugeot 207 parked outside Nisa on Windhill Road, in the Eastmoor area of Wakefield, on June 10 last year. | West Yorkshire Police/National World/Google
