Here are some of the criminals who have been sent to prison in Wales in the past month.
They include a man who bludgeoned his partner to death, a "cowardly" motorist who drove over a six-year-old girl and then fled the scene and a man who killed his victim with a 2ft-long ninja sword.
There are also two pregnant women and a man who told police he thought the £19,000 worth of cocaine in the boot of his car was fish paste.
Here are their faces and their crimes:
John Garner
The "cowardly" killer cried as a judge locked him up for savagely murdering his partner using a hammer.
Garner, 51, battered his partner Teresa Garner to death at the home they shared after he found a text message she had sent to a former boyfriend.
An emotional statement was read to Mold Crown Court on behalf of one of his victim's three children, paying tribute to a "lovely mum" who is missed "every day".
Kane Burns
Jailed for killing his victim with a 2ft-long ninja sword before burning his body and burying it in a shallow grave in a Cardiff woodland.
He fractured Mohamed Megherbi’s skull with the weapon and then went to buy matches, fuel and a shovel in a bid to cover up the evidence of his crime.
Ashley Evans
The “cowardly” and “inhuman” driver ran over a six-year-old girl who had fallen off a scooter then fled from the scene in Cardiff before the police arrived.
Evans, 28, who had six previous convictions for driving while disqualified, dragged the child along under his new Vauxhall Astra – leaving her with a fractured collarbone, pelvis, and legs.
She was pinned under the vehicle and medics warned her life was in danger following the crash, which was caught on camera in horrific footage which her family have agreed to release. We have edited the clip to remove the moment of the impact.
Zakaria Afey
A court heard the Cardiff student was “deeply committed” to supporting Isis and Al-Qaeda and had a terrorist manual on his phone.
He also shared a song called Virgins of Paradise while his manual could be used to train would-be terrorists on “how to commit acts of terror and how to remain undetected while living in the West”.
Ahmed Ali
The controlling and abusive man tried to kill his partner by stabbing her repeatedly with a screwdriver during a “shocking” attack that left her with life-threatening injuries.
Ali hit his girlfriend Olivia Spinks in the mouth with a broken brick before chasing her into a nearby shop and stabbing her head and neck with the screwdriver.
Richard Wilcockson
A photograph shows Wilcockson taking potshots with an air rifle from the window of a flat on Swansea's High Street.
He fired a number of pellets across the busy street prompting armed police to descend on the area.
Andrew Christopher, Derwyn Jones, and Joel Jones
A man felt blood running down the back of his neck after being hit on the head with a hammer during a three-on-one attack.
Kyle Moyle was taken to hospital following the sustained assault by Andrew Christopher, Derwyn Jones and Joel Jones, who punched and kicked the victim while he was on the floor in a public square in Tonypandy.
Sean Grey
The burglar pulled a Stanley knife on a homeowner who found him hiding in her son's bedroom.
Grey flashed the blade at the woman and told her not to call the police before fleeing the house.
But he was arrested a short time later by police who had been alerted to a man acting suspiciously in a garden earlier that morning.
Robert Chambers
The convicted killer who caused a man's death with a single punch knocked an unsuspecting football fan unconscious with a "sickening blow" in a busy city street.
Simon Walters was knocked out cold after being hit with such force he suffered whiplash in the unprovoked attack by Chambers, who was locked up as a teenager for manslaughter .
This is the moment of the attack:
Mark Hawkins, Craig James, and Luke Colwell
The three fraudsters checked themselves into a luxury hotel and ran up a £1,000 bill on fake cards during a two-day scam spree.
The trio netted goods and services worth around £12,000 after setting themselves up in the Hotel Metropole, then driving around towns and villages in mid-Wales trying to buy everything from petrol and scratchcards to a £3,000 electric bike with the cards.
Peterson Baru
The gang member from London was caught trying to hide hundreds of pounds worth of heroin and cocaine as police raided a flat in Cardiff .
Baru was seen by officers throwing away a bundle of Class A drugs as he tried to escape from the back of a property into which they had forced entry.
