| 14.06.2013 | Introducing 'Payment by Results' in Offender Rehabilitation and other reforms |
| The Ministry of Justice plans to allow organisations from the voluntary and private sectors to provide rehabilitation services in the community for low and medium risk offenders. New providers would be paid according to the reductions in re-offending they achieve. It is also legislating through the Offender Rehabilitation Bill to introduce and extend statutory supervision periods for short-sentence offenders. The Ministry of Justice says these and other proposals set out in the Government's Transforming Rehabilitation strategy document (published 9 May 2013) will help to reduce reoffending while continuing to protect the public. | |

| 28.02.2013 | Crime: Social Indicators page |
| Crime: Social Indicators page. By Gavin Berman and Roderick McInnes. SN/SG/2617. | |
| 06.02.2013 | Extradition and the European Arrest Warrant - Recent Developments |
| This note is designed to complement two earlier Standard Notes on extradition namely: 'The UK/US Extradition Treaty' (SN/HA/2204) and 'The introduction of the European Arrest Warrant' (SN/HA/1703) which each set out background information to the introduction of the current extradition regime (governed by the Extradition Act 2003). | |
| 05.02.2013 | Reductions in sentence for a guilty plea |
| Offenders who plead guilty in court will usually receive a reduced sentence compared to that they would have received had they been convicted following a not guilty plea. The maximum discount is currently one third. This note describes the rationale for reduced sentences for those who plead guilty. | |
| 28.01.2013 | Legal aid for victims of domestic violence |
| The issue of legal aid for private family law cases involving domestic violence remained controversial as the Government published its white paper in response to the public consultation and as the subsequent Bill (now the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012) made its way through Parliament. The Act is expected to come into force in April 2013. Provisions in the Act allow for legal aid to be provided in private law children and family proceedings where there is evidence of domestic abuse. The range of evidence of domestic abuse to be accepted - although much discussed during the Bill's passage - does not form part of the Act but has since been published in regulations. | |
| 10.01.2013 | Householders and the criminal law of self defence |
| This note considers the potential criminal liability of householders who use force against intruders. Such householders will have a complete defence if they can demonstrate they were using reasonable force in self defence. However, cases such as those of Tony Martin and Munir Hussain have led some to call for a change in the law so that the test is one of "not grossly disproportionate force" rather than "reasonable force". The Government is now proposing to legislate for such a change by way of the Crime and Courts Bill. | |
| 09.01.2013 | Gangs: a select bibliography |

| 06.09.2012 | Trespass to land |
| This note provides some background information about issues relating to trespass to land. It is worth noting at the outset that in general terms, trespass to land is not a criminal offence in the absence of some special statutory provision that makes it so. | |
| 04.09.2012 | Harassment: 'Police Information Notices' |
| This note explains why the police may issue Police Information Notices where there are allegations of harassment and what guidance there is on the subject. It also discusses what recipients can do if they object. | |
| 14.08.2012 | Registration and management of sex offenders under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 |
| This note provides an overview of the various measures in Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 aimed at enabling the police to monitor and manage sex offenders living in the local area. It considers the requirement for certain sex offenders to notify the police of personal information such as their name and address, and to update the police whenever this information changes. The police record of these notifications is commonly referred to as the "sex offenders' register". It also considers a range of civil orders that can be used to manage the behaviour of sex offenders. | |
| 11.07.2012 | Metal theft |
| This note looks at the increasingly high-profile problem of metal theft, which the Association of Chief Police Officers has estimated costs the UK economy approximately £770 million per year. There have been calls to reform the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 1964 to tighten up controls on scrap metal dealers. In January 2012 the Government announced that it would be amending the 1964 Act to introduce a ban on cash payments for scrap metal and unlimited fines for relevant offences under the Act. These changes are set out in sections 145 to 147 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. In June 2012 Richard Ottaway introduced a Private Member's Bill that proposes to repeal the 1964 Act altogether and replace it with a new regulatory regime. The Bill has Government support. | |
| 22.06.2012 | EU Bibliographies: Proceeds of crime |
| This Note brings together documents relevant to the proposed 'proceeds of crime Directive' and its scrutiny in the UK and EU. It is not an attempt to define policy in this area. For information on domestic policy developments contact Alexander Horne on extn 0251 | |
| 13.06.2012 | Retention of fingerprints and DNA data |
| This note considers the circumstances in which the police may retain fingerprint and DNA data from individuals arrested for a recordable offence. Under current law such data can be retained indefinitely. However, the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 will introduce a more limited retention regime. | |
| 23.05.2012 | Criminal Memoirs |
| This note explains the civil recovery scheme designed to prevent criminals profiting from accounts of their crimes (for example in an autobiography or television or newspaper interviews). It also looks at the rules preventing serving prisoners from publishing such information and at the relevant media codes of practice. | |
| 02.05.2012 | Neighbourhood Watch |
| Neighbourhood Watch was first introduced into Britain in 1982. It works by developing close liaison between households in a neighbourhood and the local police. | |

| 16.03.2012 | Assisted suicide |
| This note provides background to the offence of assisting a person to commit suicide under the Suicide Act 1961, in the context of terminally ill people who may be unable to end their lives without the assistance of family or friends. Particular reference is made to the case of Debbie Purdy, who in July 2009 obtained a House of Lords ruling ordering the Director of Public Prosecutions to formulate an offence-specific policy setting out the factors he will consider when deciding whether to prosecute assisted suicide offences. The note also considers a recent report by the Commission for Assisted Dying, a privately funded organisation, which recommended that Parliament should consider introducing a new legal framework on assisted suicide. | |
| 12.03.2012 | Clare's law: the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme consultation |
| On 5 March 2012, the Government announced that it would be piloting a scheme to test a process for enabling the police to disclose to the public information about previous violent offending by a new or existing partner. The consultation on the scheme had shown it to be a controversial one. This note looks at the background and the reactions. | |

| Domestic Violence: a select bibliography. | |
| 06.03.2012 | Sarah's law: the child sex offender disclosure scheme |
| This note summarises the child sex offender disclosure scheme, also known as Sarah's law, under which members of the public can ask the police whether an individual (e.g. a neighbour or family friend) is a convicted sex offender. In August 2010 the Home Secretary announced that the scheme would be rolled out across all police force areas in England and Wales, following a successful pilot. | |
| 07.02.2012 | Anonymity in rape cases |
| People who complain that they have been the victims of sexual offences are automatically given anonymity. Defendants in such cases, however, are not. This note considers the relevant legislation and the continuing debate as to whether defendants should be granted some form of anonymity. Shortly after the general election the Government indicated that it intended to introduce anonymity for defendants in rape cases. However, these plans were subsequently dropped on the basis that there was insufficient empirical evidence on which to base a decision on providing those accused of rape with anonymity. | |

| 09.12.2010 | Air guns in Scotland |
| Firearms law is currently a reserved matter. However, arguing that Scotland has a significantly bigger problem with airgun-inflicted injury and death than the rest of Great Britain, the Scottish Parliament has called for the right to make its own laws on air weapons. | |
| 06.09.2010 | Private prosecutions |
| This note provides an overview of the right of a private individual to bring a criminal prosecution.

| 23.06.2010 | Acquitted defendants: recovery of legal costs from central funds |
| This note outlines the provisions under which an acquitted defendant may be entitled to recover his legal costs from central funds. In particular, it considers the recent introduction of a "cap" on the amount that may be recovered. The cap, introduced in October 2009, provides that an acquitted defendant who paid for private legal representation will only able to recover his costs at legal aid rates, even where these are lower than the commercial rates his private lawyers actually charged. The defendant will be responsible for meeting any difference. Following a judicial review application by the Law Society, in June 2010 the High Court ruled that the October 2009 pay rates were unlawful. | |
| 27.05.2010 | Aviation: disruptive passengers |
| There are a number of offences that can be committed by aircraft passengers under the Air Navigation Order 2009, such as: entering an aircraft while drunk; being drunk on an aircraft; using threatening language or engaging in threatening behaviour; interfering with an aircraft or its crew; endangering an aircraft; and refusing to obey an order from the aircraft commander. Various penalties are available for these offences, as set out in the following note. | |
| 26.05.2010 | Inciting hatred on grounds of sexual orientation |
| This note provides background to the offence of inciting hatred on the ground of sexual orientation introduced by the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, and progress of the Government's proposal, in the Coroners and Justice Bill, to remove the so-called "free speech exemption". | |
| 25.03.2010 | Universal jurisdiction |
| The UK has universal jurisdiction under the Geneva Conventions Act 1957 (and other legislation) for a limited number of serious international crimes. It also has an obligation under international law to prosecute or extradite those suspected of war crimes or torture anywhere in the world. There are few such prosecutions in the UK but arrest warrants have been sought for private prosecutions. The Government is consulting on a change to the law on private prosecutions for universal jurisdiction offences, and the UN is conducting a review of the scope and application of the principle of universal jurisdiction. | |

It would prohibit the publication or broadcast of the name, address or image of a person arrested for an offence if such information would be likely to lead members of the public to identify him or her as the person suspected of committing the offence in question. These reporting restrictions would remain in force unless and until the arrested person was charged with the offence for which he or she had been arrested. In certain circumstances a Crown Court judge would be able to direct that the reporting restrictions should not apply, for example if publishing the identity of the suspect might lead to new complainants or witnesses coming forward. | |

| 22.12.2009 | Crime and Security Bill. Bill 3 2009-10. |
