<p>The UK has some of the toughest powers in the world to deal with sex offenders
and we are committed to ensuring that the system is as robust as it can be</p><p><br>Registered
sex offenders are managed by the police, who are in the best position to identify
the risk posed by individuals. We work with the police on an ongoing basis to ensure
they have all the necessary tools to manage sex offenders as effectively as possible
in the community.</p><p>We are very clear that the police are best placed to assess
the risk of an offender committing another crime, and they will rightly put the public
first. In 2017 the police introduced 'reactive management' allowing resources to be
prioritised effectively towards the most dangerous sex offenders. This means each
offender will have a personalised risk management plan to reduce the risk they pose
to the public.</p><p>No offender who continues to pose a risk to the public will be
subject to reactive management but will continue to be managed closely by the police.
If at any point there are any concerns about an offender in reactive management, they
will be reverted back to active management.</p><p>We continue to work with the Police
and other law enforcement agencies to ensure that the right powers are available for
the authorities to tackle sexual crimes and to bring perpetrators to justice.</p>
