These are the faces of people jailed in October for crimes linked to St Helens.
This month, courts heard how a 51-year-old man from St Helens , who had never been in trouble before, punched a woman 11 times and then hit her head off a kerb.
Other cases brought before the courts included a woman who stole over £320,000 from her own family to fund a gambling addiction.

Judges also heard how a woman who failed to protect her son from two evil rapists ignored repeated warnings from police and social services.
Here are some of the most serious cases related to St Helens that came before the courts in October.
Clare Roughley
Crooked carer Clare Roughley scammed her own mum, dad, nan and a disabled woman out of £325,000.
For six years she exploited her victims by using online bank accounts to get her hands on huge sums used to cover her gambling addiction.
A judge slammed the ex bank employee for using insider knowledge to "systematically, ruthlessly and remorselessly extract every last penny" .
Roughley, 39 of Newfields in St Helens, stole £91,437 from her dad Raymond Roughley; £158,735 belonging to her mum, Delwyn Roughley; and £58,221 belonging to the estate of her grandmother, Theresa Leyland.
The mum-of-two also stole £17,220 belonging to Jean Almond, who she helped to care and would often take out on shopping trips.
The 39-year-old admitted four counts of theft and one count of fraud, relating to setting up a credit card in Mrs Almond's name.
Roughley was jailed for six years.
Michael Fearnley
Michael Fearnley punched a woman 11 times before grabbing her head and hitting it against a kerb.
The 51-year-old blamed his shocking violence on the effect of drinking up to 10 pints while on a high dose of medication .
A court heard Fearnley had never been in trouble before the totally "out of character" attack in St Helens on March 22, 2019.
But he left victim Deborah Knapper - who has since quit her job because of anxiety - with fractures to her nose and face.
Fearnley, of Maiden Close, Skelmersdale, was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a trial in July.
He was jailed for four years.
Ann Marie Crook
Ann Marie Crook drove the wrong way down a motorway slip road and killed a former headteacher.
The mum-of-two's Renault Clio hit Paula Kingdon's car moments after she had narrowly missed an oncoming HGV.
Crook maintains she cannot explain what she was doing, but a judge told her: "The consequences of your actions were entirely foreseeable."
The 43-year-old reached speeds of almost 100mph on the East Lancashire Road in St Helens, at around 9.30am, on October 31, 2019.
Crook, of Cheviot Avenue in St Helens, turned down the M57 slip road and collided with Ms Kingdon's Honda Jazz, killing the 64-year-old.
Ms Kingdon was from Merseyside but lived in Sheffield and had been the headteacher of Westfield Infants School, near Chesterfield, in Derbyshire.
Crook admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for four years and eight months.
Mum who failed son
A little boy could have been saved from rape if his mum hadn't ignored repeated warnings from police and social services.
David Bradbury filmed and encouraged William Gamble as the 65-year-old carried out horrific sexual abuse against the child in their St Helens home.
Bradbury, 55, later offered to pay the boy's mum £30 for more access to the victim.
The "dangerous" rapists, who "acted as a team", were both jailed for 16 years, with an extended one year on licence, in March.
But the boy's mum, who cannot be named because that would identify her son, admitted child neglect and conceded she deliberately and repeatedly exposed her son to the risk of sexual abuse, by allowing him to keep seeing them, despite being told over and over again not to.
She was jailed for four years.
Samuel Fenney
A dangerous driver caught during a 110mph police chase would 'inevitably' have killed someone if he had an accident.
Samuel Fenney, 26, accelerated to a speed of 110mph in a 60mph zone in a police pursuit near Abergele that lasted for two minutes over two and a half miles.
His Honour Judge Timothy Petts said it was 'crystal clear' Fenney was 'not fit to drive'.
Fenney, 26, had pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and was this month jailed at Caernarfon Crown Court for ten months.
The court was told Fenney's parents had moved from St Helens to North Wales to move him away from negative influences and he is "devastated" about the impact of the court cas e on them.
Jailing Fenney for 10 months, the judge also disqualified Fenney from driving for three years after his term ends. He must take an extended retest before getting his licence back.
