On Monday 5 July 2021, the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill  recieved its Third Reading by Ayes: 365 – Noes: 265. This Bill would make significant changes across the criminal justice system. It includes provisions to amend police powers and how the police are supported to do their job preventing and detecting crime. The Bill would also make significant changes to how offenders are dealt with including major reforms to “out of court disposals”, changes to sentencing law and changes to how offenders are managed in the community.
