Gang-related violence

Section 39: Powers of court on breach of injunction by respondent under 18

133.Section 39 inserts a new section 46A and a new Schedule 5A into the 2009 Act to enable the courts to make further orders when a person under the age of 18 breaches an injunction. Currently a breach of such an injunction would be dealt with as a contempt of court, but this is often not considered appropriate where the respondent is under 18. Therefore new Schedule 5A provides the court with two new powers for dealing with a breach of an injunction in respect of an individual aged under 18 at the time of breach. These are the power to make a supervision order and the power to make a detention order.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
