Among them were up-to five paedophiles, including one of who latched onto a 13-year-old boy online and asked him about his fantasies.
Also locked up at Leeds Crown Court during December was a would-be terrorist who shared sickening beheading videos online and pledged his allegiance to ISIS.
Here are the names and faces of 41 criminals who appeared before judges at Leeds Crown Court last month...
1. Andrew Philip Russell
Stalker Andrew Philip Russell, 35, who “manipulated, controlled and inflicted emotional scars” on a woman for almost two years has been jailed for five years and four months after being convicted of stalking involving serious alarm or distress.

2. Andrew Studden
Convicted paedophile Andrew Studden, 58, was already on a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) to monitor his internet use when he latched onto a 13-year-old boy online asked him about his fantasies and talked of being naked in his garden hot tub. Judge Simon Phillips KC jailed Studden for 20 months, gave him a new 10-year SHPO and put him on the sex offender register for 10 years. | WYP
3. Alan Stanley
“Rampaging” thug Alan Stanley laughed after throwing his partner down a flight of stairs, having already hit her with a bottle and terrified her with a baseball bat. He was jailed for 28 months at Leeds Crown Court after admitting three counts of criminal damage, and was also found guilty of ABH after a summary trial. He was also handed a 10-year restraining order to keep him away from the woman. | WYP
4. Bradley Georgeson
Drug addict Bradley Georgeson, who brazenly stole hundreds of pounds of coffee on a daily basis from the Farmfoods shop Waterloo Terrace, Batley , has been jailed for four years after he knifed a police officer who tried to stop him. He stole around £570 worth in total between September 18 and 22. Georgeson was also handed a five-year CBO banning him from the shop. | WYP
5. Frankie Lee Morrison
Frankie Lee Morrison was sentenced to 32 months in prison after police shut down his "one-man-band" county line cocaine enterprise.

Morrison pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of cocaine and possessing cannabis. | NYP
6. Kane Killen and Levon Thompson
Kane Killen, Levon Thompson and Aiden Johnson broke into homes and led police on chases in the stolen cars, but were brought down by their own stupidity - after recordings taken of the crimes were found by police. Leeds Crown Court judge Catherine Silverton jailed Thompson for 52 months, Killen for 45 months and Johnson for 12 months. Johnson was given a 28-month driving ban, and Killen a 45-month driving ban. | WYP
