Abstract

The Government has announced its first major law and order Bill - the Crime and Disorder Bill ("the Bill"). Parts of it will affect those convicted of sexual offences against children but how appropriate or useful are these measures? In effect there are two aspects of the Bill which relate to paedophiles; that of the sex offender orders (clauses 2 to 4) and that of the extended licensing arrangements (clauses 46 and 47.)
