P5- Describe legislation related to promoting positive
behaviour
In this assignment I will be describing legislation that is used
when practitioners are aiming to promote positive behaviour
in individuals. I will also describe the guidance that
practitioners use when trying to promote positive behaviour
in individuals
, Section 3 Criminal Law Act 1967, Common Law
Under Section 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1967, Common Law, a person may use
such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in the prevention of crime. An
example of a time when reasonable force has been used was during the London
Bridge Terror Attack, when witnesses of the attacks decided to hold down the
attacker, and take the knife off of him, so that he could not further kill or harm
anyone else, until police arrived to arrest the individual. However, if force is
proven not to be reasonable, for example, the murder of George Floyd, then an
individual who used the unreasonable force can be prosecuted.
“It promotes positive behaviour by-
Ensuring that professionals that are required to use any kind of force only use
force that is reasonable and necessary. This means that if the force is excessive
then the law will not protect us.
Requires professionals to only use physical force to remove the immediate
threat. This means that professional only use the force whilst the threat is
present, once the threat has gone they must stop using force. For example, if an
individual has an object and is threatening to harm someone with the object,
professionals must remove the object from the individual using force and then
must stop using force once they have removed the object from them.
A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in the
prevention of crime. For example, if someone was walking around with a knife
in their hand A person may assist in the lawful arrest of offenders or suspected
offenders. Individuals can carry out a citizens arrest or detain. For example,
during the London Bridge terror attack in 2019, passers-by had to carry out a
citizens arrest of the individual who was stabbing people to protect others in the
society.
All of the above shall replace the rules of the common law on the question when
force used for a purpose mentioned in the subsection is justified by that
purpose.
