The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books
covering the latest legislative changes and amendments in the UK.
Published soon after enactment, they offer expert commentary by
leading names on the effects, extent and scope of the legislation,
plus a full copy of the Act itself. They offer a cost-effective
solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for
any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest
changes.
The UK Criminal Justice and Immigration Act received Royal Assent
in May 2008 and draws together a wide range of policy issues, from
youth justice to 'foreign criminals'. A large part of the Act
focuses on sentencing and is a response to our overcrowded prisons.
The Act introduces 19 new criminal offences (including incitement
to hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation and possession of
extreme pornographic images), and a number of significant changes
to criminal law and procedure. The Act also expands on the range of
civil 'behavior orders' available in the criminal courts by
extending the existing 'crack house' closure order regime for
premises upon which anti-social behavior takes place and by
introducing a new Violent Offender Order. It also introduces a new
restricted immigration status, following the Home Secretary's
defeat in the Court of Appeal in the 'Afghan Hijackers' case in
2006.
This new Blackstone's Guide combines the full text of the Act with
an expert narrative. It seeks to explain the scope and impact of
the Act, including the civil liberties implications, and bring
practitioners right up-to-date with this complex piece of drafting.
Presented in a straightforward layout, it enables ease of use as a
reference source.
