What is this Bill?

The Crime and Policing Bill is a Government Bill tabled by a Minister of the Crown.

Is this Bill currently before Parliament?

Yes. This Bill was introduced on 25 February 2025 and is currently before Parliament.

Whose idea is this Bill?

Government Bills implement the legislative agenda of the Government. This agenda, and the Bills that will implement it, are outlined in the Queen's Speech at the Session's State Opening of Parliament.

What type of Bill is this?

Government Bills are technically Presentation Bills, but the Government can use its legislative time to ensure the schedule of debates to scrutinise the Bill.

So is this going to become a law?

Though the Bill can be amended from its original form, the Bill will almost certainly be enacted in law before the end of the Session, or will be carried over to the subsequent Session.

How can I find out exactly what this Bill does?

The most straightforward information is contained in the initial Explanatory Notes for the Bill.

★ To move the following Clause— "Anti-social behaviour: definition and enforcement (1) For the purposes of- (a) section 2(1) of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, and (b) Part 1 of this Act, conduct shall not be considered “anti-social behaviour” solely on the basis that it involves— (i) rough sleeping, (ii) non-aggressive begging, (iii) the use of public space for shelter, rest, or subsistence-related activity, (iv) any conduct arising directly from homelessness, socio-economic need or vulnerability, or lack of access to housing or essential services. (2) For conduct to meet the threshold of being "likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person", it must- (a) involve behaviour that is targeted, threatening, or persistently disruptive to others, and (b) give rise to a genuine and ongoing risk of harm or serious nuisance beyond mere visibility or discomfort caused by socio-economic need or vulnerability. (3) In assessing whether behaviour constitutes anti-social behaviour under either Act, the relevant authority or court must have regard to— (a) whether the conduct reflects socio-economic need or vulnerability rather than intent to harm or harass, (b) the individual's housing status, mental and physical health, and access to support, and (c) whether alternative, non-punitive interventions have been offered or exhausted. (4) An order, injunction, or direction under either Act must not be imposed where the conduct arises from destitution or homelessness unless- (a) the conduct poses a demonstrable and ongoing risk to the public, and (b) enforcement is necessary and proportionate, and (c) appropriate support, including housing or welfare assistance, has been actively sought and reasonably refused. (5) Nothing in this section shall prevent proportionate enforcement action where conduct constitutes a demonstrable and ongoing threat to public safety or the rights and freedoms of others, and where such action is necessary and proportionate in the circumstances.”

★ Schedule 15, page 320, line 18, at end insert- "PART 13 CONFISCATION ORDERS MADE UNDER SAVED LEGISLATION: PROVISIONAL DISCHARGE Provisional discharge of confiscation orders made under saved legislation 54 (1) This paragraph applies if- (a) an amount remains to be paid under a confiscation order made under- (i) section 1 of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986, (ii) section 71 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, or (iii) section 2 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, and (b) the relevant two-year period has ended. (2) The Crown Court may, of its own motion or on an application made by a person listed in sub-paragraph (3), discharge the confiscation order on a provisional basis if the court considers that it is in the interests of justice to do so. (3) The persons are— (a) the prosecutor; (b) the designated officer for a magistrates' court; (c) a receiver appointed under- (i) section 11 of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 1 of that Act; (ii) section 80 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 71 of that Act; (iii) section 29 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 2 of that Act. (4) In deciding whether it is in the interests of justice to discharge a confiscation order on a provisional basis the court must, in particular, take into account- (a) any amount that the defendant has already paid under the confiscation order; (b) the extent to which the amount that remains to be paid under the order represents interest payable in respect of the order; (c) any steps that have already been taken in relation to the enforcement of the order; (d) the extent to which there are reasonable steps (or further reasonable steps) that could be taken in relation to the enforcement of the order; (e) the amount that the court considers would be recovered if all such reasonable steps (or further reasonable steps) are to be taken. (5) Where an application under this paragraph is refused, a further application in relation to the confiscation order concerned may only be made- (a) after the end of the period of two years beginning with the date of the refusal, or (b) before the end of that period, with the leave of the court. (6) There is no right of appeal against a decision of the court under this paragraph to discharge, or not to discharge, a confiscation order on a provisional basis. (7) In sub-paragraph (1), the “relevant two-year period” means the period of two years beginning with- (a) the day on which the confiscation order was made, or (b) in a case where the order has been varied under the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986, Part 6 of the Criminal Justice Act 1998 or, as the case may be, Part 1 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, the day on which the order was varied. Effect of provisional discharge under paragraph 54 and revocation of discharge 55 (1) This paragraph applies where a confiscation order has been discharged under paragraph 54 on a provisional basis. (2) The order is to be treated as satisfied, and accordingly the proceedings against the defendant are to be treated as having concluded for the purposes of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986, the Criminal Justice Act 1988 or, as the case may be, the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, subject to the rest of this paragraph. (3) The provisional discharge of the order does not prevent the making of an application in respect of the order under- (a) section 14 of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 1 of that Act; (b) section 74C or 83 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 71 of that Act; (c) section 15, 16 or 17 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 2 of that Act. (4) Where, on an application under any of those provisions, the court varies the order, the court may also revoke the provisional discharge of the order. (5) The Crown Court may, on an application made by a person listed in sub-paragraph (6), revoke the provisional discharge of the order if the court considers that it is in the interests of justice to do so. (6) The persons are— (a) the prosecutor; (b) a receiver appointed under- (i) section 11 of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 1 of that Act; (ii) section 80 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 71 of that Act; (iii) section 29 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 2 of that Act. (7) In deciding whether it is in the interests of justice to revoke the provisional discharge of a confiscation order the court must, in particular, take into account the matters listed in paragraph 54(4). (8) Where the court revokes the provisional discharge of a confiscation order under this paragraph- (a) the order is, from the time of the revocation, no longer to be treated as satisfied, and (b) accordingly- (i) from that time the proceedings against the defendant are to be treated as not having been concluded, and (ii) any interest which was payable in respect of the order for a period before the provisional discharge of the order but which had not been paid at the time of the provisional discharge becomes payable. (9) There is no right of appeal against a decision of the court under this paragraph to revoke, or not to revoke, the provisional discharge of a confiscation order. Time for payment where provisional discharge of order is revoked 56 (1) This paragraph applies where a court revokes the provisional discharge of a confiscation order- (a) under paragraph 55(4) on an application under section 74C of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 or section 15 or 16 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, or (b) under paragraph 55(5). (2) If the court is satisfied that the defendant is unable to pay the full amount ordered to be paid under the order on the day on which the provisional discharge is revoked, the court may make an order requiring whatever cannot be paid on that day to be paid- (a) in a specified period, or (b) in specified periods each of which relates to a specified amount. (3) A specified period- (a) must start with the day on which the provisional discharge is revoked, and (b) must not exceed three months. (4) If- (a) within any specified period the defendant applies to the relevant court for that period to be extended, and (b) the relevant court is satisfied that, despite having made all reasonable efforts, the defendant is unable to pay the amount to which the specified period relates within that period, the court may make an order extending the period (for all or any part or parts of the amount in question). (5) "The relevant court” means- (a) in a case where the Crown Court revoked the provisional discharge of the order, the Crown Court; (b) in a case where a magistrates' court revoked the provisional discharge of the order, a magistrates' court. (6) An extended period- (a) must start with the day on which the provisional discharge is revoked, and (b) must not exceed six months. (7) An order under sub-paragraph (4)— (a) may be made after the end of the specified period to which it relates, but (b) must not be made after the end of the period of six months starting with the day on which the provisional discharge is revoked. (8) Periods specified or extended under this paragraph must be such that, where the court believes that a defendant will by a particular day be able- (a) to pay the amount remaining to be paid, or (b) to pay an amount towards what remains to be paid, that amount is required to be paid no later than that day. (9) If- (a) an application has been made under sub-paragraph (4) for a specified period to be extended, (b) the application has not been determined by the court, and (c) the period of six months starting with the day on which the provisional discharge was revoked has not ended, the amount on which interest is payable in respect of the order does not include the amount to which the specified period relates. (10) The court must not make an order under sub-paragraph (2) or (4) unless it gives the prosecutor an opportunity to make representations. Financial status orders 57 (1) This paragraph applies where- (a) the Crown Court has decided of its own motion to consider whether to discharge a confiscation order on a provisional basis, (b) an application has been made under paragraph 54 or 55, or (c) the court has discharged a confiscation order on a provisional basis and an application has been made under— (i) section 14 of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 1 of that Act; (ii) section 74C or 83 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 71 of that Act; (iii) section 15, 16 or 17 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, in the case of a confiscation order made under section 2 of that Act. (2) The relevant court may order the defendant to give the court, before the end of the period specified in the order— (a) any information about the defendant's assets and other financial circumstances, and (b) any documentary or other evidence in support of that information, that the court may require in connection with the exercise of its functions under paragraph 54 or 55. (3) "The relevant court" means- (a) where this paragraph applies as a result of sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b), the Crown Court; (b) where this paragraph applies as a result of sub-paragraph (1)(c), the court to which the application mentioned in that sub-paragraph is made."

(9) No police authority or police officer can be held under any circumstances to be under any duty to undertake the retention of any relevant data. (10) After subsection 113B(3) of the Police Act 1997 insert— "(3A) An enhanced criminal record certificate must not give the details of a relevant matter to the extent that doing so would result in the disclosure of relevant data as defined in section (The retention by the police of non-crime perception records) of the Crime and Policing Act 2025." (11) For subsection 39A(3) of the Police Act 1996 substitute- "(3) No part of any Code of Practice issued by the College of Policing may be in a form which could be issued by the Secretary of State pursuant to section 60 of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.” (12) Section 60 the 2022 Act is to be amended as follows- (a) the cross heading to be changed to “Non-crime perception records”, (b) the section heading to be changed to "Code of practice relating to non-crime perception records”, (c) in subsection (1) leave out from "by" to the end of the subsection and insert "of relevant data", (d) omit subsection (2), (e) in subsection (3)(a), leave out “personal data relating to a hate incident” and insert "relevant data", (f) in subsections (3)(b), (c), (d) and (e), for "such personal data” substitute "relevant data", (g) in subsection (4)(a), for "personal data" substitute “relevant data", (h) in subsection (4)(b), leave out “personal data relating to the alleged perpetrator of a hate incident”and insert “relevant data relating to the alleged perpetrator”, (i) in subsection (7), at end, insert “relevant data” has the meaning given by section (The retention by the police of non-crime perception records) of the Crime and Policing Act 2025”.

This amendment was negatived on division

To move the following Clause—<br> <b>“The retention by the police of non-crime perception records</b><br> (1) Non-crime hate incidents as a special category of incident to be recognised by police authorities are abolished. Reporting, recording and investigation of such incidents should occur only in the limited circumstances provided for in this section.<br> (2) For the purposes of Article 6(1) of the UK GDPR, section 35 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (“the Act”) and Article 8 of the Law Enforcement Directive, the processing of relevant data by a police authority is unlawful.<br> (3) In this section, “relevant data” means personal data relating to the conduct or alleged of a data subject which is unlikely to constitute criminal conduct and which has been perceived by another person to be motivated (wholly or partly) by hostility or prejudice towards one or more persons who have or who are or have been perceived to have one or more relevant characteristics and with that hostility or prejudice arising due to that or the perception of those protected characteristics.<br> (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), the following are relevant characteristics—<br> (a) race,<br> (b) religion,<br> (c) sexual orientation,<br> (d) disability,<br> (e) transgender identity.<br> (5) Subsection (2) does not apply in respect of the processing of relevant data—<br> (a) pursuant to an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution,<br> (b) for the purposes of the internal administrative functions of the police authority.<br> (6) Subsection (2) does not apply in respect of the retention of a record (a “non-crime perception record”) of relevant data where a police officer (the “certifying officer”) of the rank of inspector or above certifies that in their opinion the retention of the non-crime perception record is likely materially to assist in the detection or prevention of criminal conduct which may occur in the future.<br> (7) Where a certifying officer certifies the retention of a non-crime perception record pursuant to subsection (6)—<br> (a) the certifying officer must include in the record a description of the future criminal conduct they have in mind and the reasons they believe that the retention of the record may assist in its detection or prevention,<br> (b) the relevant data which may be retained as part of the record may be no more than the certifying officer believes is likely materially to assist in the detection or prevention of criminal conduct,<br> (c) a copy of the record must be expeditiously provided to the data subject unless an officer of the of the rank of superintendent or above certifies that—<br> (i) the provision of the record to the data subject may interfere in the detection or prevention of criminal conduct, or<br> (ii) the officer is satisfied that that it is not reasonably practicable to provide a copy of the record to the data subject.<br> (8) If the data subject objects to the retention of the non-crime perception record, subsection (6) does not apply unless a police officer of the rank of superintendent or above certifies that in their opinion the retention of the non-crime perception record is likely materially to assist in the detection or prevention of criminal conduct which may occur in the future.<br> (9) No police authority or police officer can be held under any circumstances to be under any duty to undertake the retention of any relevant data.<br> (10) After subsection 113B(3) of the Police Act 1997 insert—<br> “(3A) An enhanced criminal record certificate must not give the details of a relevant matter to the extent that doing so would result in the disclosure of relevant data as defined in section (<i>The retention by the police of non-crime perception records</i>) of the Crime and Policing Act 2025.”<br> (11) For subsection 39A(3) of the Police Act 1996 substitute—<br> “(3) No part of any Code of Practice issued by the College of Policing may be in a form which could be issued by the Secretary of State pursuant to section 60 of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.”<br> (12) Section 60 the 2022 Act is to be amended as follows—<br> (a) the cross heading to be changed to “Non-crime perception records”,<br> (b) the section heading to be changed to “Code of practice relating to non-crime perception records”,<br> (c) in subsection (1) leave out from “by” to the end of the subsection and insert “of relevant data”,<br> (d) omit subsection (2),<br> (e) in subsection (3)(a), leave out “personal data relating to a hate incident” and insert “relevant data”,<br> (f) in subsections (3)(b), (c), (d) and (e), for “such personal data” substitute “relevant data”,<br> (g) in subsection (4)(a), for “personal data” substitute “relevant data”,<br> (h) in subsection (4)(b), leave out “personal data relating to the alleged perpetrator of a hate incident” and insert “relevant data relating to the alleged perpetrator”,<br> (i) in subsection (7), at end, insert “relevant data” has the meaning given by section (<i>The retention by the police of non-crime perception records</i>) of the Crime and Policing Act 2025”.<br> (13) Any code of practice previously issued under section 60 of the 2022 Act is deemed to be withdrawn.<br> (14) Within three months of the commencement of each calendar year, each police authority which is retaining non-crime perception records must—<br> (a) undertake a review of the relevant data by an independent person to ensure that any retention of such records is in compliance with the provisions of this section.<br> (b) publish a report in respect of the review prepared by the independent person including setting—<br> (i) the total number of non-crime perception records retained by the police authority;<br> (ii) the total number of data subject to which those records relate; and<br> (iii) the equivalent numbers of those records added in the previous year.<br> (15) In this section—<br> (a) ”a police authority” means—<br> (i) a person specified or described in paragraphs 5 to 17 of Schedule 7 of the Act,<br> (ii) a person acting under the authority of such a person,<br> (b) the terms “data subject”, “processing” and “the UK GDPR” have the same meanings as under section 3 of the Act,<br> (c) “the Law Enforcement Directive” means the Directive (EU) 2016/680 of the European Parliament,<br> (d) ”the 2022 Act” means the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.”
