answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/04/2020 answer text <p>Knife Crime Prevention Orders have been introduced as a preventative civil measure to give the police the powers they need to prevent and tackle serious violence and knife crime. Given the seriousness of the issue, the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 makes breach of an Order a criminal offence.</p><p>Knife Crime Prevention Orders will be piloted in London and will be available to the courts to be applied to persons from age 12 upwards. The purpose of these Orders is to prevent those who are subject to them – those who are identified as being particularly at risk – from being drawn into knife crime and serious violence, through the inclusion of positive requirements and restrictions that can be attached to an Order. This will help more young people to avoid being drawn into violent lifestyles and serious offending.</p><p>Knife Crime Prevention Orders that apply to those under 18 years of age will be subject to more scrutiny and oversight than those issued to adults and will be subject to consultation with the relevant Youth Offending Team. The Government will shortly be publishing guidance on Knife Crime Prevention Orders which will set out the specific considerations that must be given to children and young people in applying these new Orders.</p><p>The Government is determined to tackle serious violence, and to give the police the powers and resources they need to do this. The piloting of Knife Crime Prevention Orders in London is an important part of the action we are taking.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 06/04/2020 15:29:11 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

He also asked them, once PINs had been withdrawn, to satisfy themselves that PINs or their equivalent were not still being used by officers when responding to stalking or harassment offences. I understand that all police forces have now stopped using PINs.</p><p>As PINs were a non-legislative tool, responsibility for any appeals process against previously issued PINs sits with individual Chief Constables.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 10/03/2020 17:01:05 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
