The existing law offers protection to anyone subject to intrusive and harassing behaviour from those that seek to take images of them. Depending on the facts of the case, images taken with the intention of causing alarm or distress to the victim may amount to harassment. The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 already makes it an offence for someone to pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment and which the perpetrator knows, or ought to know, amounts to harassment of the other. Harassment is generally understood to involve improper, oppressive and unreasonable conduct that is targeted at an individual and calculated to alarm them or cause them distress. If such behaviour is reported to the police, they will investigate and the Crown Prosecution Service will decide whether a prosecution should be brought. The courts will determine whether the elements of any offence are made out<\/p>

Evidence shows that accommodation, family ties, and employment are key factors linked to re-offending. Our programmes of education and training that prepare prisoners for employment on release are available in all prisons, including those holding those convicted of more serious offences. There are also a range of accredited and unaccredited programmes delivered both in prison and in the community that target the particular risks and needs for different types of offending behaviour.<\/p>
England and Wales have well-established, statutory Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) operated by criminal justice and social care agencies enabling them to work together to reduce the risk to the public of further offending by sexual and violent offenders. Information is shared to coordinate risk management plans that support the effective management of these more serious offenders in the community, reducing reoffending and actively protecting past or potential future victims. Equivalent arrangements also apply in Northern Ireland and Scotland.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/15", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir David Lidington"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Aylesbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr David Lidington"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-26T14:44:20.163Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Reoffenders"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he has taken to reduce re-offending rates for those convicted of serious offences.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1409", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Gregory Campbell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Londonderry"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Gregory Campbell"} ], "uin" : "5648"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/753559", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/753559/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
