Download or read book Home Office Draft Modern Slavery Bill Cm 8770 written by Great Britain: Home Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern slavery encompasses human trafficking, slavery, forced labour and domestic servitude. In 2012, the International Labour Organization estimated that there were 21 million victims of forced labour across the world. Our current understanding of the exact scale of the problem is limited. The only systematic means we have for collecting data is the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) to which potential victims of modern slavery are referred. 1,186 potential victims of modern slavery were referred in 2012 - a 25 per cent increase on the previous year. The Government will go forward in three ways: through legislation in this Parliament; through non-legislative action across the country; and through upstream work in source countries. The draft Modern Slavery Bill will: consolidate and simplify existing slavery and trafficking offences; increase the maximum sentence available to life imprisonment; introduce civil orders to restrict the activity of those who pose a risk and those convicted of slavery and trafficking offences; create a new Anti-Slavery Commissioner role to galvanise law enforcement's efforts to tackle modern slavery; and establish a legal duty to report potential victims of trafficking to the National Crime Agency (NCA). The Rt Hon Frank Field MP was invited to run a number of evidence sessions to gather information and views from a wide range of experts. His recommendations will be fully considered as the Bill and action plan are developed. The action plan will also set out how we will improve law enforcement action in source countries, and take steps towards scaling up reintegration programmes

Download or read book The Criminalization of Violence Against Women written by Douglas and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically states have failed to seriously confront violence against women. In response, in many countries women's rights movements have called on the government to prioritize state intervention in cases involving violence between intimate partners, sexual harassment, rape, and sexual assault by both strangers and intimate partners. Those interventions have taken various forms, including the passage of substantive civil and criminal laws governing intimate partner violence, rape and sexual assault, and sexual harassment; the development of civil orders of protection; and the introduction of procedures in the criminal legal system to ensure the effective intervention of police and prosecutors. Indeed, many countries have relied upon intervention by the criminal legal system to meet their requirements under international human rights standards that obligate states to prevent, protect from, prosecute, punish, and provide redress for violence. Although states have taken divergent approaches to the passage and implementation of criminal laws and procedures to address violence against women, two things are clear: criminalization is a primary strategy relied upon by most nations, and yet criminalization is not having the desired impact. This collection explores the extent to which nations have adopted criminal legal reforms to address violence against women, the consequences associated with the implementation of those laws and policies, and who bears those consequences most heavily. The chapters examine the need for both more and less criminalization, ask whether we should think differently about criminalization, and explore the tensions that emerge when criminal law, civil law and social policy speak or fail to speak to each other. Drawing on criminalization approaches and recent debates from across the globe, this collection provides a comparative approach to assess the scope, impact of, and alternatives to criminalization in the response to violence against women.

Download or read book Criminal Law Reform Now Volume 2 written by Melissa Bone and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you could change one part of the criminal law, what would it be? Following the success of the 1st volume, the same question is put to a new selection of leading academics and practitioners. The first eight chapters of the collection present their responses in the form of legal reform proposals, with topics ranging across criminal law, criminal justice and evidence – including corporate liability, consent to bodily harms, prostitution, domestic abuse, economic crimes, defendant anonymity, appeal court structures and the procedures of the Criminal Cases Review Commission. Each chapter is followed by a comment from a different author, providing an additional expert view on each proposal. Finally, the last two chapters broaden the debate to discuss criminal law reform in general, from the challenges of decriminalisation to exploring the systemic dynamics of centralisation, austerity and politicisation. The collection highlights and explores the current reform debates that matter most to legal experts, with each chapter making a positive case for change.

The landmark Supreme Court decision in DPP v JC is analysed in an extended chapter on unlawfully obtained evidence and important case law developments relating to confessions and the right to silence are discussed in a detailed chapter on pre-trial interviews with suspects. Other chapters explore the case law of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal on testimony, corroboration, technological evidence, privilege and disclosure. The Law Reform Commission's recommendations in its 2016 Report on Consolidation and Reform of Aspects of the Law of Evidence are considered in the book's discussion of hearsay and expert evidence.
