year. In a quarter of cases, it <strong>in</strong>volves a term of more than two years. In comparis<strong>on</strong> with the term of the<br />

n<strong>on</strong>-suspended custodial sentences imposed <strong>in</strong> first <strong>in</strong>stance, 491 custodial sentences with a l<strong>on</strong>ger term<br />
