29 Answers
With a string on convictions for violence is society the right place for her try "turn her life around" or would a secure mental institution or prison be more appropriate and safer for the public?

So the only other option was prison , in prison she would have mixed with other violent prisoners and in all probability got worse. Women's jails are notorious for being worse than men's jails for violence as only the very worst case's end up there.

She deserves to be inside and for quite a stretch.
1. Because she deserves to be.
2. She'll get all the help and treatment she needs inside, whereas she'd ironically struggle to avail herself of such services whilst remaining free.
How did she get/retain a job as an estate agent? As her boss I'd be wary of letting her loose with clients in an uncontrolled environment!

Dam savage should be in jail for the good of the public. The sad thing is If I did that I'd go straight down most probably. Quite breathtaking, perhaps M'Lud needs to get out into the real world on occasion, 18 offences of violence and she still isn't in jail. Eddie, what has the NHS got to do with the price of eggs? Violent multiple offender should in any civilised society = jail, end of.
It is significant that she had 'sought help from the mental health service' before this offence but was still waiting for assessment.
That is probably the reason the judge thought himself able to suspend the sentence.If you read the link the judge was uneasy about this and warned her that just one breach of the sentence would result in her being immediately sent to prison. Obviously 'estate agent' is not one of the jobs where a CRB check is necessary despite the fact that she could have unsupervised contact with vulnerable people ( the elderly for example), a CRB check would have shown up her violent past and precluded her getting such a job.
She will lose her job now though and be virtually unemployable.

Strange then that they appear to have access to Mental Health Services here:

If they don't I've no doubt a lawyer/ECHR representative would be all over the Prison Service like a pigeon on a chip. I'm sure if she tried hard enough whilst inside she'd get the access to the services she supposedly needs.

Again, as a former prisoner, as is the way upon release I'm sure under some rehabilitation scheme she'd soon get a job again.
This link is 6 years old but I'm sure that matters at present are not very dissimilar:
