Report of the Commissioner of Police.
Minutes:
The Committee considered a report of the Commissioner of Police which set out proposals for the Community Remedy document (CRD).
Members raised a number of concerns about the poor response and the limited scope of the consultation exercise. It was therefore agreed that the consultation process should be rerun, this time with a much broader approach.
As part of this further work it was requested that consideration be given that Community Remedies should not apply in the following circumstances –
- Radical and religiously aggravated offences
- Where the individual has received more than one Community Remedy
- When theft is from theft of a person
- Section 4 and 4a of the Public Order Act
- Common assault
- When the victim is otherwise vulnerable or under 16 years of age
RESOLVED – That the consultation process be rerun.
