Crime and its effects on society

Task 1

P1: Crime disorder act 1998

The crime disorder act was created in 1988. It was put in place to reduce the amount of sex crime
and anti-social behaviour. This act abolished the rule which stated children under the ages of 10-13
cannot be arrested for criminal activity. Two new orders were also released as part of this act, the
parenting order (Mainly designed to help and support parents when their child has got into trouble.)
and child safety order (If a child has disobeyed their curfew or committed an offence, they have an
opportunity to be placed under the supervision of a youth offending team.) Along with this act also
came ASBO’s (Anti-Social Behaviour Order) which were supposedly which are used to protect the
public from anti-social behaviour.

Police reform act 2002

The police reform act was created in 2002 and created PCSO’s, otherwise known as Police
Community Support Officers. PCSO’s were created to deal with the smaller crimes and issues such as
anti-social behaviour which frees up more of the police’s time to deal with larger crimes. This act
also enables the police to have a few other powers. For example; they now have the power to
confiscate vehicles and they can take blood samples from drivers who are unconscious. As well as
those points, this act lifted the ban from foreigners joining the police force which means they will be
much more recruits and diversity within the force. Along with this act also came the ‘IPCC’
(Independent Police Complaints Commission.) The ‘IPCC’ was held responsible for handling all of the
complaints made against the police force; this meant peoples complaints against the force was
finally heard.

Criminal Justice act 2003

The criminal justice act was created in 2003. This act scrapped the ‘double jeopardy’ rule meaning a
convict cannot be trailed twice for the same crime. This acts main intention was to modernise the
criminal justice system. It also increases the ‘magistrates’ sentencing power to 12 months. The
minimum sentence for murder has also been increased to 30 years due to this act.

Anti-social behaviour act 2003

The anti-social behaviour act was created in 2003 and its main aim was to tackle different types of
anti-social behaviour in local areas and communities s. It granted police officers the power to
disperse groups of more than 2 people as well as the ability to order young people under the age of
16 to return home after 9pm. This act also created ‘on the spot fines’ which can be given out for
different types of anti-social behaviour such as, noise, graffiti and truancy; hoping this would make
offenders more cautious of their actions. The sale of spray paints was also banned for anyone under
the age of 16 which was put in place hoping to reduce the amount of graffiti within local
communities. Lastly, the ‘crack house order’ was also introduced within this act; it shut down the
production and supply premises for class A drugs, for up to six months.
