Crime and Policing BillContribution
The Government have committed to issuing statutory guidance that will set out what the police should take into account in terms of proportionality before applying for an order. That will include the need to consider alternative interventions. The police will clearly need to take an individualised approach and it would not be helpful for the Government to set out a prescriptive list of alternatives in the guidance.
