They all received time behind bars for offences ranging from assaults to arson and threatening behaviour.
Below are some of the more serious and dreadful cases to have passed through Sheffield Crown Court recently where some of the victims have been left traumatised.
Offenders have been involved in stabbings, an arson attack, controlling and coercive behaviour as well as threatening behaviour and aggravated vehicle taking.
One knife-wielding thug stabbed four victims on a Sheffield estate during a reign of terror and another convicted murderer had his sentence extended after he attacked an officer at a Young Offender Institution.
But judges have seen fit to punish these offenders appropriately with custodial sentences of varying lengths.
1. 1. Callom Taylor
Callom Taylor, aged 19, pictured, was involved in four separate incidents around Gleadless after he attacked a man with nunchucks, stabbed a man in the street, stabbed a couple in their home and stabbed another man in the chest during a robbery, according to a recent Sheffield Crown Court hearing. Taylor, of no fixed abode, who pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, three counts of possessing an offensive weapon, four counts of wounding with intent and one count of robbery received a 23-year extended sentence, comprising of 18 years of custody and a five-year extended licence period.

Sheffield Crown Court heard how Cain admitted wounding following the assault in November, 2019. The court was told Cain and two other defendants kicked and punched the complainant and he suffered two stab wounds to his right buttock in the attack. Cain's accomplices pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm on the basis they were not involved in the stabbing. They received six months of custody suspended for two years with 100 hours of unpaid work and a rehabilitation requirement. Photo: SYP
