Consultation paper on the review of Part 1 of the Sex Offenders Act 1997
The government announced in June 2000 that a review was to take place of the Sex Offenders Act to see whether there was scope to further strengthen its provisions.
The Consultation document examines:
- which offenders should be covered by the legislation
- whether the registration requirements are effective
- how the legislation should apply to children and young people who sexually abuse others
- and how those convicted abroad of sexual offences who come to this country can be brought within its remit.
