Q

What will we do about knife crime cases in the criminal justice process?

A

Anyone found in unlawful possession of a knife will be charged within 24 hours and appear before a magistrate in a week - 3x faster than the current average. Most of them will be sentenced there and then. Most of them will be sentenced there and then. All those who receive a community order, suspended sentence, or immediate custodial sentence will also receive a Serious Violence Reduction Order. So, from the moment they walk out of court (or out of the prison gates on licence) they would face more of a chance of being caught. They will know that if caught with a knife again, they will be very likely to receive an immediate custodial sentence. Those who use a knife as a weapon will go to prison.

All murderers over 21 who commit the premeditated killing of a child aged under 16 with the intent to kill. The current rules require the murder to be of multiple children, or to be sexually or sadistically motivated, to attract a Whole Life Order.

Q

Who will provide education in prisons?

A

Create a new prisoner education service focused on work-based training and skills. ‍This new service will oversee the education and skills training offered across all jails. This will build upon the new Prison Education Framework issued in April 2019, and provide a new focus across the whole system on raising educational standards of all prisoners serving sentences in England and Wales. To track progress and ensure prison regimes are delivering good results, we now require basic literacy and numeracy testing on reception into prison and at point of release.

41

Increase the total number of prisoners in prison-based industries, and the total number of hours worked, every year of the next Parliament.

What are we doing to reduce violent crime?

Violence reduction units – 18 multi-agency teams made up of the police, social services and other agencies – will be boosted by £35 million to champion preventative work and stop violence from happening in the first place. They will be deployed in areas of serious violent crime.

44
Q

What has been the result of increased stop and search on knife crime?

A

A 22% increase in arrests for possession of weapons in response to a 55% increase in stop and search to look for weapons.

45
Q

How will a new court order help tackle knife crime?

A

We will introduce a new Serious Violence Reduction Order to enable the police to stop and search habitual knife carriers without suspicion – helping to get more weapons off our streets.

As proposed by the think-tank the Centre for Social Justice, and backed by Lord Hogan-Howe, these orders will allow police to target known knife carriers, so stop and search tactics can be a more effective deterrent.

This power would be in addition to the two main types of existing stop and search powers – Section 1 and Section 60. A Serious Violence Reduction Order would act like a personalised Section 60 search power for individuals who have, in a criminal court of law been proven to have been in possession of an offensive weapon. This would include pointed or bladed weapons, firearms, and corrosive substances.

The Order would apply to both custodial and non-custodial sentences, thus ensuring that every offender – from the moment they are sentenced at court or from when they leave prison on licence – would face an increased risk of detection. This would help to focus our response on what is a relatively small proportion of dangerous offenders.

Polling by the Centre for Social Justice found that 70 per cent of non-white people would support Serious Violence Reduction Orders.

46
Q

What is our approach to freedom of expression and tolerance?
