What are crime prevention orders?

The UK High Court of Justice has the possibility to create serious crime prevention orders that imply restrictions, bans and significant terms where it has rational foundations to believe that the order will protect the public by averting or disrupting the individual implied in a serious crime act in the UK. The weight of evidence of these matters is on the individual applying for the order on the balance of possibilities. The prevention orders are enforced to persons of 18 or more, by the Serious Fraud Agency in the UK.

A serious crime prevention order refers to the civil injunction where crimes are punished with six months detention or with a fine. If the Crown Court has decided upon the conviction, the individual can receive a five year detention and indefinite fine for serious crimes. A prevention order is authorized if the person has legal representation at the trial, or has received a notification in that matter. Please do take into consideration that the Serious Crime Act 2015 has introduced new modifications.
