What is a serious crime?

A ‘serious’ crime will involve any offences listed under Schedule 1, Part 1 of the Serious Crime Act 2007. A wide range of offences fall under this bracket, including but not limited to drugs, firearms, bribery, computer misuse and child sex offences.

What is a serious crime prevention order?

A Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO) are civil orders. The intention behind them is to prevent or deter serious crimes.

The Court can impose a SCPO if you are convicted of a serious offence. The terms of the SCPO will vary, but will often include prohibitions, restrictions, and/or requirements which the Court deems necessary.

SCPOs last for no more than five years. If you breach the terms of an SCPO during this time, this is a criminal offence.
