From a convicted murderer back in court for an attack in jail, to a thug who inflicted a campaign of violence on his girlfriend, these offenders have been brought to justice.
Also among the criminals to be sentenced this month was a paedophile who called himself "teacher" online and told a 12-year-old girl that he wanted sex while she wore a school uniform.
After a very busy month for judges at Leeds Crown Court, here are 40 of the criminals who appeared in the dock -
19. Fati Metallari
Fati Metallari, 20, was jailed for 18 months after admitting a charge of producing cannabis. The cannabis gardener bit a fond farewell to his plants during a police raid at an unoccupied building on Barnsley Road, South Elmsall, on December 12 as he laughed and said: “Goodbye my babies”. Police found 200 plants. | West Yorkshire Police/Google/National World
