Clause 85
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
6:15 pm
Vernon Coaker (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Gedling, Labour)
We have used the procedures and processes for antisocial behaviour orders because we feel that they are appropriate for the violent offender orders. The chief police officer is the best person to make the judgment, because their liaison with all the statutory agencies will be greater than that of the Crown Prosecution Service. In that sense, the chief of police will be the most appropriate individual.
