    Nearly two thirds of criminals avoid jail despite amassing at least 15 convictions, shocking figures show.
    Instead of being put behind bars, more than 62,000 offenders were given lesser punishments, such as community service or a fine, last year.

    More than 4,000 walked out of court with only a caution. The figures reveal that serial offenders are less likely to be given a jail sentence today than at any time in the past decade.

    And they further raise concerns that career criminals, including drug dealers and burglars, are getting only a 'slap on the wrist'.

    Tory MP Douglas Carswell said: 'Many of my constituents are losing faith in the criminal justice system because - as these figures show - even when people have become habitual offenders they are not actually brought to justice.
    'The criminal justice system simply doesn't administer what my constituents regard as justice.
