2021 Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act

The 2021 Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act is a UK law that introduces reforms to policing and justice. It grants police more powers to manage protests, such as imposing restrictions on marches deemed disruptive. The Act also updates sentencing rules, including longer prison terms for certain crimes, and makes changes to court procedures. It aims to improve public safety, streamline law enforcement, and modernize the justice system, but has raised concerns about potential impacts on civil liberties and the right to peaceful protest.
