The Attorney General is considering whether to review the four-year sentence given to a man who killed another man with a single punch.
Andrew Young, 40, suffered a head injury and died in hospital after the assault in Bournemouth in 2013.
Lewis Gill, of Sutton, south London, admitted manslaughter and was jailed at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the Attorney General was considering seeking a longer sentence.
He called it a "repugnant crime", adding: "I think most of the public will feel justice hasn't been done."
He said: "In a case where [the Attorney General] judges the sentence to be too lenient he can go back to the courts and seek a longer sentence. He may chose to do this in that case."
Dorset Police described the killing outside a Tesco Express store in Charminster Road as a "violent attack on an innocent man".
CCTV showed Mr Young, who had Asperger's syndrome - a form of autism - apparently challenging Gill's friend who was cycling on the pavement.
Moments later, Gill, 20, who was walking along behind, was shown punching Mr Young in the face. Mr Young fell backwards and hit his head on the ground.
Gill, who carried out the assault on 6 November, had an extra six months added to his sentence after admitting an unrelated handling stolen goods charge and breaching a suspended sentence order.
