The law must be updated to deal with new challenges posed, for
example, by internet paedophiles and organised gangs planning
criminal activities who may be operating on a world-wide basis. In
"Conspiracy and Attempts (Consultation Paper 318)", The Law
Commission recommends a series of changes to improve and clarify
the law governing conspiracy and attempts to commit crimes to make
it simpler and fairer both for the prosecution and the accused.
This report contains a draft Conspiracy and Attempts Bill that
would: make it possible to bring a charge of conspiracy when
conspirators deliberately take a risk that they will engage in
criminal activity; abolish the outdated rule that prevents married
couples from being charged with conspiring to commit a crime; make
it possible to bring a charge of conspiracy when conspirators
deliberately take a risk that they will engage in criminal
activity; and, introduce a new defence of reasonableness to a
charge of conspiracy. The report follows on from the 2007
consultation paper, "Conspiracy and Attempts: A Consultation Paper
(Consultation Paper 183)".
