An Act to consolidate certain enactments relating to the powers of courts to deal with offenders and defaulters and to the treatment of such persons, with amendments to give effect to recommendations of the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission. Be it enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
The Crown Court or a magistrates' court may defer passing sentence on an offender for the purpose of enabling the court, or any other court to which it falls to deal with him, to have regard in dealing with him to— but this is subject to subsections (2) and (3) below.
his conduct after conviction (including, where appropriate, the making by him of reparation for his offence); or
any change in his circumstances;
The power conferred by subsection (1) above shall be exercisable only if—
the offender consents; and
the court is satisfied, having regard to the nature of the offence and the character and circumstances of the offender, that it would be in the interests of justice to exercise the power.
Any deferment under this section shall be until such date as may be specified by the court, not being more than six months after the date on which the deferment is announced by the court; and, subject to section 2(7) below, where the passing of sentence has been deferred under this section it shall not be further so deferred.
Notwithstanding any enactment, a court which under this section defers passing sentence on an offender shall not on the same occasion remand him.
Where the passing of sentence on an offender has been deferred by a court under this section, the court’s power under this section to deal with the offender at the end of the period of deferment—
is power to deal with him, in respect of the offence for which passing of sentence has been deferred, in any way in which it could have dealt with him if it had not deferred passing sentence; and
without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (a) above, in the case of a magistrates' court includes the power conferred by section 3 below to commit him to the Crown Court for sentence.
Nothing in this section or section 2 below shall affect—
the power of the Crown Court to bind over an offender to come up for judgment when called upon; or
the power of any court to defer passing sentence for any purpose for which it may lawfully do so apart from this section.
A court which under section 1 above has deferred passing sentence on an offender may deal with him before the end of the period of deferment if during that period he is convicted in Great Britain of any offence.
Subsection (3) below applies where a court has under section 1 above deferred passing sentence on an offender in respect of one or more offences and during the period of deferment the offender is convicted in England or Wales of any offence (“the later offence”).
Where this subsection applies, then (without prejudice to subsection (1) above and whether or not the offender is sentenced for the later offence during the period of deferment), the court which passes sentence on him for the later offence may also, if this has not already been done, deal with him for the offence or offences for which passing of sentence has been deferred, except that—
the power conferred by this subsection shall not be exercised by a magistrates' court if the court which deferred passing sentence was the Crown Court; and
the Crown Court, in exercising that power in a case in which the court which deferred passing sentence was a magistrates' court, shall not pass any sentence which could not have been passed by a magistrates' court in exercising that power.
Where— the court may issue a summons requiring him to appear before the court, or may issue a warrant for his arrest.
a court which under section 1 above has deferred passing sentence on an offender proposes to deal with him, whether on the date originally specified by the court or by virtue of subsection (1) above before that date, or
the offender does not appear on the date so specified,
In deferring the passing of sentence under section 1 above a magistrates' court shall be regarded as exercising the power of adjourning the trial conferred by section 10(1) of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980, and accordingly sections 11(1) and 13(1) to (3A) and (5) of that Act (non-appearance of the accused) apply (without prejudice to subsection (4) above) if the offender does not appear on the date specified under section 1(3) above.
Any power of a court under this section to deal with an offender in a case where the passing of sentence has been deferred under section 1 above—
is power to deal with him, in respect of the offence for which passing of sentence has been deferred, in any way in which the court which deferred passing sentence could have dealt with him; and
without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (a) above, in the case of a magistrates' court includes the power conferred by section 3 below to commit him to the Crown Court for sentence.
Where— the power of the Crown Court to deal with him includes the same power to defer passing sentence on him as if he had just been convicted of the offence or offences on indictment before the court.
the passing of sentence on an offender in respect of one or more offences has been deferred under section 1 above, and
a magistrates' court deals with him in respect of the offence or any of the offences by committing him to the Crown Court under section 3 below,
Subject to subsection (4) below, this section applies where on the summary trial of an offence triable either way a person aged 18 or over is convicted of the offence.
If the court is of the opinion— the court may commit the offender in custody or on bail to the Crown Court for sentence in accordance with section 5(1) below.
that the offence or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it was so serious that greater punishment should be inflicted for the offence than the court has power to impose, or
in the case of a violent or sexual offence, that a custodial sentence for a term longer than the court has power to impose is necessary to protect the public from serious harm from him,
Where the court commits a person under subsection (2) above, section 6 below (which enables a magistrates' court, where it commits a person under this section in respect of an offence, also to commit him to the Crown Court to be dealt with in respect of certain other offences) shall apply accordingly.
This section does not apply in relation to an offence as regards which this section is excluded by section 33 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (certain offences where value involved is small).
The preceding provisions of this section shall apply in relation to a corporation as if—
the corporation were an individual aged 18 or over; and
in subsection (2) above, paragraph (b) and the words “in custody or on bail” were omitted.
This section applies where—
a person aged 18 or over appears or is brought before a magistrates' court (“the court”) on an information charging him with an offence triable either way (“the offence”);
he or his representative indicates that he would plead guilty if the offence were to proceed to trial; and
proceeding as if section 9(1) of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 were complied with and he pleaded guilty under it, the court convicts him of the offence.
If the court has committed the offender to the Crown Court for trial for one or more related offences, that is to say, one or more offences which, in its opinion, are related to the offence, it may commit him in custody or on bail to the Crown Court to be dealt with in respect of the offence in accordance with section 5(1) below.
If the power conferred by subsection (2) above is not exercisable but the court is still to inquire, as examining justices, into one or more related offences—
it shall adjourn the proceedings relating to the offence until after the conclusion of its inquiries; and
if it commits the offender to the Crown Court for trial for one or more related offences, it may then exercise that power.
Where the court— section 5(1) below shall not apply unless he is convicted before the Crown Court of one or more of the related offences.
under subsection (2) above commits the offender to the Crown Court to be dealt with in respect of the offence, and
does not state that, in its opinion, it also has power so to commit him under section 3(2) above,
Where section 5(1) below does not apply, the Crown Court may deal with the offender in respect of the offence in any way in which the magistrates' court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of the offence.
Where the court commits a person under subsection (2) above, section 6 below (which enables a magistrates' court, where it commits a person under this section in respect of an offence, also to commit him to the Crown Court to be dealt with in respect of certain other offences) shall apply accordingly.
For the purposes of this section one offence is related to another if, were they both to be prosecuted on indictment, the charges for them could be joined in the same indictment.
Where an offender is committed by a magistrates' court for sentence under section 3 or 4 above, the Crown Court shall inquire into the circumstances of the case and may deal with the offender in any way in which it could deal with him if he had just been convicted of the offence on indictment before the court.
In relation to committals under section 4 above, subsection (1) above has effect subject to section 4(4) and (5) above.
This section applies where a magistrates' court (“the committing court”) commits a person in custody or on bail to the Crown Court under any enactment mentioned in subsection (4) below to be sentenced or otherwise dealt with in respect of an offence (“the relevant offence”).
Where this section applies and the relevant offence is an indictable offence, the committing court may also commit the offender, in custody or on bail as the case may require, to the Crown Court to be dealt with in respect of any other offence whatsoever in respect of which the committing court has power to deal with him (being an offence of which he has been convicted by that or any other court).
Where this section applies and the relevant offence is a summary offence, the committing court may commit the offender, in custody or on bail as the case may require, to the Crown Court to be dealt with in respect of—
any other offence of which the committing court has convicted him, being either—
an offence punishable with imprisonment; or
an offence in respect of which the committing court has a power or duty to order him to be disqualified under section 34, 35 or 36 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (disqualification for certain motoring offences); or
any suspended sentence in respect of which the committing court has under section 120(1) below power to deal with him.
The enactments referred to in subsection (1) above are—
the Vagrancy Act 1824 (incorrigible rogues);
sections 3 and 4 above (committal for sentence for offences triable either way);
section 13(5) below (conditionally discharged person convicted of further offence);
section 116(3)(b) below (offender convicted of offence committed during currency of original sentence); and
section 120(2) below (offender convicted during operational period of suspended sentence).
Where under section 6 above a magistrates' court commits a person to be dealt with by the Crown Court in respect of an offence, the Crown Court may after inquiring into the circumstances of the case deal with him in any way in which the magistrates' court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of the offence.
Subsection (1) above does not apply where under section 6 above a magistrates' court commits a person to be dealt with by the Crown Court in respect of a suspended sentence, but in such a case the powers under section 119 below (power of court to deal with suspended sentence) shall be exercisable by the Crown Court.
Without prejudice to subsections (1) and (2) above, where under section 6 above or any enactment mentioned in subsection (4) of that section a magistrates' court commits a person to be dealt with by the Crown Court, any duty or power which, apart from this subsection, would fall to be discharged or exercised by the magistrates' court shall not be discharged or exercised by that court but shall instead be discharged or may instead be exercised by the Crown Court.
Where under section 6 above a magistrates' court commits a person to be dealt with by the Crown Court in respect of an offence triable only on indictment in the case of an adult (being an offence which was tried summarily because of the offender’s being under 18 years of age), the Crown Court’s powers under subsection (1) above in respect of the offender after he attains the age of 18 shall be powers to do either or both of the following—
to impose a fine not exceeding £5,000;
to deal with the offender in respect of the offence in any way in which the magistrates' court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of an offence punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.
Subsection (2) below applies where a child or young person (that is to say, any person aged under 18) is convicted by or before any court of an offence other than homicide.
The court may and, if it is not a youth court, shall unless satisfied that it would be undesirable to do so, remit the case— but in relation to a magistrates' court other than a youth court this subsection has effect subject to subsection (6) below.
if the offender was committed for trial or sent to the Crown Court for trial under section 51 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, to a youth court acting for the place where he was committed for trial or sent to the Crown Court for trial;
in any other case, to a youth court acting either for the same place as the remitting court or for the place where the offender habitually resides;
Where a case is remitted under subsection (2) above, the offender shall be brought before a youth court accordingly, and that court may deal with him in any way in which it might have dealt with him if he had been tried and convicted by that court.
A court by which an order remitting a case to a youth court is made under subsection (2) above—
may, subject to section 25 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (restrictions on granting bail), give such directions as appear to be necessary with respect to the custody of the offender or for his release on bail until he can be brought before the youth court; and
shall cause to be transmitted to the justices' chief executive for the youth court a certificate setting out the nature of the offence and stating—
that the offender has been convicted of the offence; and
that the case has been remitted for the purpose of being dealt with under the preceding provisions of this section.
Where a case is remitted under subsection (2) above, the offender shall have no right of appeal against the order of remission, but shall have the same right of appeal against any order of the court to which the case is remitted as if he had been convicted by that court.
Without prejudice to the power to remit any case to a youth court which is conferred on a magistrates' court other than a youth court by subsections (1) and (2) above, where such a magistrates' court convicts a child or young person of an offence it must exercise that power unless the case falls within subsection (7) or (8) below.
The case falls within this subsection if the court would, were it not so to remit the case, be required by section 16(2) below to refer the offender to a youth offender panel (in which event the court may, but need not, so remit the case).
The case falls within this subsection if it does not fall within subsection (7) above but the court is of the opinion that the case is one which can properly be dealt with by means of— with or without any other order that the court has power to make when absolutely or conditionally discharging an offender.
an order discharging the offender absolutely or conditionally, or
an order for the payment of a fine, or
an order (under section 150 below) requiring the offender’s parent or guardian to enter into a recognizance to take proper care of him and exercise proper control over him,
In subsection (8) above “care” and “control” shall be construed in accordance with section 150(11) below.
A document purporting to be a copy of an order made by a court under this section shall, if it purports to be certified as a true copy by the justices' chief executive for the court, be evidence of the order.
Where a person who appears or is brought before a youth court charged with an offence subsequently attains the age of 18, the youth court may, at any time after conviction and before sentence, remit him for sentence to a magistrates' court (other than a youth court) acting for the same petty sessions area as the youth court.
Where an offender is remitted under subsection (1) above, the youth court shall adjourn proceedings in relation to the offence, and—
section 128 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (remand in custody or on bail) and all other enactments, whenever passed, relating to remand or the granting of bail in criminal proceedings shall have effect, in relation to the youth court’s power or duty to remand the offender on that adjournment, as if any reference to the court to or before which the person remanded is to be brought or appear after remand were a reference to the court to which he is being remitted; and
subject to subsection (3) below, the court to which the offender is remitted (“the other court”) may deal with the case in any way in which it would have power to deal with it if all proceedings relating to the offence which took place before the youth court had taken place before the other court.
Where an offender is remitted under subsection (1) above, section 8(6) above (duty of adult magistrates' court to remit young offenders to youth court for sentence) shall not apply to the court to which he is remitted.
Where an offender is remitted under subsection (1) above he shall have no right of appeal against the order of remission (but without prejudice to any right of appeal against an order made in respect of the offence by the court to which he is remitted).
In this section—
“enactment” includes an enactment contained in any order, regulation or other instrument having effect by virtue of an Act; and
“bail in criminal proceedings” has the same meaning as in the Bail Act 1976.
Where a person aged 18 or over (“the offender”) has been convicted by a magistrates' court (“the convicting court”) of an offence to which this section applies (“the instant offence”) and— the convicting court may remit him to the other court to be dealt with in respect of the instant offence by the other court instead of by the convicting court.
it appears to the convicting court that some other magistrates' court (“the other court”) has convicted him of another such offence in respect of which the other court has neither passed sentence on him nor committed him to the Crown Court for sentence nor dealt with him in any other way, and
the other court consents to his being remitted under this section to the other court,
This section applies to—
any offence punishable with imprisonment; and
any offence in respect of which the convicting court has a power or duty to order the offender to be disqualified under section 34, 35 or 36 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (disqualification for certain motoring offences).
Where the convicting court remits the offender to the other court under this section, it shall adjourn the trial of the information charging him with the instant offence, and—
section 128 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (remand in custody or on bail) and all other enactments, whenever passed, relating to remand or the granting of bail in criminal proceedings shall have effect, in relation to the convicting court’s power or duty to remand the offender on that adjournment, as if any reference to the court to or before which the person remanded is to be brought or appear after remand were a reference to the court to which he is being remitted; and
subject to subsection (7) below, the other court may deal with the case in any way in which it would have power to deal with it if all proceedings relating to the instant offence which took place before the convicting court had taken place before the other court.
The power conferred on the other court by subsection (3)(b) above includes, where applicable, the power to remit the offender under this section to another magistrates' court in respect of the instant offence.
Where the convicting court has remitted the offender under this section to the other court, the other court may remit him back to the convicting court; and the provisions of subsections (3) and (4) above (so far as applicable) shall apply with the necessary modifications in relation to any remission under this subsection.
The offender, if remitted under this section, shall have no right of appeal against the order of remission (but without prejudice to any right of appeal against any other order made in respect of the instant offence by the court to which he is remitted).
Nothing in this section shall preclude the convicting court from making any order which it has power to make under section 148 below (restitution orders) by virtue of the offender’s conviction of the instant offence.
In this section—
“conviction” includes a finding under section 11(1) below (remand for medical examination) that the person in question did the act or made the omission charged, and “convicted” shall be construed accordingly;
“enactment” includes an enactment contained in any order, regulation or other instrument having effect by virtue of an Act; and
“bail in criminal proceedings” has the same meaning as in the Bail Act 1976.
If, on the trial by a magistrates' court of an offence punishable on summary conviction with imprisonment, the court— the court shall adjourn the case to enable a medical examination and report to be made, and shall remand him.
is satisfied that the accused did the act or made the omission charged, but
is of the opinion that an inquiry ought to be made into his physical or mental condition before the method of dealing with him is determined,
An adjournment under subsection (1) above shall not be for more than three weeks at a time where the court remands the accused in custody, nor for more than four weeks at a time where it remands him on bail.
Where on an adjournment under subsection (1) above the accused is remanded on bail, the court shall impose conditions under paragraph (d) of section 3(6) of the Bail Act 1976 and the requirements imposed as conditions under that paragraph shall be or shall include requirements that the accused—
undergo medical examination by a registered medical practitioner or, where the inquiry is into his mental condition and the court so directs, two such practitioners; and
for that purpose attend such an institution or place, or on such practitioner, as the court directs and, where the inquiry is into his mental condition, comply with any other directions which may be given to him for that purpose by any person specified by the court or by a person of any class so specified.
Where a court by or before which a person is convicted of an offence (not being an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law or falls to be imposed under section 109(2), 110(2) or 111(2) below) is of the opinion, having regard to the circumstances including the nature of the offence and the character of the offender, that it is inexpedient to inflict punishment, the court may make an order either—
discharging him absolutely; or
if the court thinks fit, discharging him subject to the condition that he commits no offence during such period, not exceeding three years from the date of the order, as may be specified in the order.
Subsection (1)(b) above has effect subject to section 66(4) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (effect of reprimands and warnings).
An order discharging a person subject to such a condition as is mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above is in this Act referred to as an “order for conditional discharge”; and the period specified in any such order is in this Act referred to as “the period of conditional discharge”.
Before making an order for conditional discharge, the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language that if he commits another offence during the period of conditional discharge he will be liable to be sentenced for the original offence.
If (by virtue of section 13 below) a person conditionally discharged under this section is sentenced for the offence in respect of which the order for conditional discharge was made, that order shall cease to have effect.
On making an order for conditional discharge, the court may, if it thinks it expedient for the purpose of the offender’s reformation, allow any person who consents to do so to give security for the good behaviour of the offender.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing a court, on discharging an offender absolutely or conditionally in respect of any offence, from making an order for costs against the offender or imposing any disqualification on him or from making in respect of the offence an order under section 130, 143 or 148 below (compensation orders, deprivation orders and restitution orders).
If it appears to the Crown Court, where that court has jurisdiction in accordance with subsection (2) below, or to a justice of the peace having jurisdiction in accordance with that subsection, that a person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made— that court or justice may, subject to subsection (3) below, issue a summons requiring that person to appear at the place and time specified in it or a warrant for his arrest.
has been convicted by a court in Great Britain of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, and
has been dealt with in respect of that offence,
Jurisdiction for the purposes of subsection (1) above may be exercised—
if the order for conditional discharge was made by the Crown Court, by that court;
if the order was made by a magistrates' court, by a justice acting for the petty sessions area for which that court acts.
A justice of the peace shall not issue a summons under this section except on information and shall not issue a warrant under this section except on information in writing and on oath.
A summons or warrant issued under this section shall direct the person to whom it relates to appear or to be brought before the court by which the order for conditional discharge was made.
If a person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made by the Crown Court is convicted by a magistrates' court of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, the magistrates' court—
may commit him to custody or release him on bail until he can be brought or appear before the Crown Court; and
if it does so, shall send to the Crown Court a copy of the minute or memorandum of the conviction entered in the register, signed by the justices' chief executive by whom the register is kept.
Where it is proved to the satisfaction of the court by which an order for conditional discharge was made that the person in whose case the order was made has been convicted of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, the court may deal with him, for the offence for which the order was made, in any way in which it could deal with him if he had just been convicted by or before that court of that offence.
If a person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made by a magistrates' court— the Crown Court may deal with him, for the offence for which the order was made, in any way in which the magistrates' court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of that offence.
is convicted before the Crown Court of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, or
is dealt with by the Crown Court for any such offence in respect of which he was committed for sentence to the Crown Court,
If a person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made by a magistrates' court is convicted by another magistrates' court of any offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, that other court may, with the consent of the court which made the order, deal with him, for the offence for which the order was made, in any way in which the court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of that offence.
Where an order for conditional discharge has been made by a magistrates' court in the case of an offender under 18 years of age in respect of an offence triable only on indictment in the case of an adult, any powers exercisable under subsection (6), (7) or (8) above by that or any other court in respect of the offender after he attains the age of 18 shall be powers to do either or both of the following—
to impose a fine not exceeding £5,000 for the offence in respect of which the order was made;
to deal with the offender for that offence in any way in which a magistrates' court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of an offence punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.
The reference in subsection (6) above to a person’s having been convicted of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge is a reference to his having been so convicted by a court in Great Britain.
Subject to subsection (2) below, a conviction of an offence for which an order is made under section 12 above discharging the offender absolutely or conditionally shall be deemed not to be a conviction for any purpose other than the purposes of the proceedings in which the order is made and of any subsequent proceedings which may be taken against the offender under section 13 above.
Where the offender was aged 18 or over at the time of his conviction of the offence in question and is subsequently sentenced (under section 13 above) for that offence, subsection (1) above shall cease to apply to the conviction.
Without prejudice to subsections (1) and (2) above, the conviction of an offender who is discharged absolutely or conditionally under section 12 above shall in any event be disregarded for the purposes of any enactment or instrument which—
imposes any disqualification or disability upon convicted persons; or
authorises or requires the imposition of any such disqualification or disability.
Subsections (1) to (3) above shall not affect—
any right of an offender discharged absolutely or conditionally under section 12 above to rely on his conviction in bar of any subsequent proceedings for the same offence;
the restoration of any property in consequence of the conviction of any such offender; or
the operation, in relation to any such offender, of any enactment or instrument in force on 1st July 1974 which is expressed to extend to persons dealt with under section 1(1) of the Probation of Offenders Act 1907 as well as to convicted persons.
In subsections (3) and (4) above—
“enactment” includes an enactment contained in a local Act; and
“instrument” means an instrument having effect by virtue of an Act.
Subsection (1) above has effect subject to section 50(1A) of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 and section 108(1A) of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (rights of appeal); and this subsection shall not be taken to prejudice any other enactment that excludes the effect of subsection (1) or (3) above for particular purposes.
Without prejudice to paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 11 to this Act (references to provisions of this Act to be construed as including references to corresponding old enactments), in this section—
any reference to an order made under section 12 above discharging an offender absolutely or conditionally includes a reference to an order which was made under any provision of Part I of the Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973 (whether or not reproduced in this Act) discharging the offender absolutely or conditionally;
any reference to an offender who is discharged absolutely or conditionally under section 12 includes a reference to an offender who was discharged absolutely or conditionally under any such provision.
The Secretary of State may by order direct that subsection (1) of section 12 above shall be amended by substituting, for the maximum period specified in that subsection as originally enacted or as previously amended under this subsection, such period as may be specified in the order.
Where an order for conditional discharge has been made on appeal, for the purposes of section 13 above it shall be deemed—
if it was made on an appeal brought from a magistrates' court, to have been made by that magistrates' court;
if it was made on an appeal brought from the Crown Court or from the criminal division of the Court of Appeal, to have been made by the Crown Court.
In proceedings before the Crown Court under section 13 above, any question whether any person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made has been convicted of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge shall be determined by the court and not by the verdict of a jury.
This section applies where a youth court or other magistrates' court is dealing with a person aged under 18 for an offence and—
neither the offence nor any connected offence is one for which the sentence is fixed by law;
the court is not, in respect of the offence or any connected offence, proposing to impose a custodial sentence on the offender or make a hospital order (within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983) in his case; and
the court is not proposing to discharge him absolutely in respect of the offence.
If— the court shall sentence the offender for the offence by ordering him to be referred to a youth offender panel.
the compulsory referral conditions are satisfied in accordance with section 17 below, and
referral is available to the court,
If— the court may sentence the offender for the offence by ordering him to be referred to a youth offender panel.
the discretionary referral conditions are satisfied in accordance with section 17 below, and
referral is available to the court,
For the purposes of this Part an offence is connected with another if the offender falls to be dealt with for it at the same time as he is dealt with for the other offence (whether or not he is convicted of the offences at the same time or by or before the same court).
For the purposes of this section referral is available to a court if—
the court has been notified by the Secretary of State that arrangements for the implementation of referral orders are available in the area in which it appears to the court that the offender resides or will reside; and
the notice has not been withdrawn.
An order under subsection (2) or (3) above is in this Act referred to as a “referral order”.
No referral order may be made in respect of any offence committed before the commencement of section 1 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.
For the purposes of section 16(2) above the compulsory referral conditions are satisfied in relation to an offence if the offender—
pleaded guilty to the offence and to any connected offence;
has never been convicted by or before a court in the United Kingdom of any offence other than the offence and any connected offence; and
has never been bound over in criminal proceedings in England and Wales or Northern Ireland to keep the peace or to be of good behaviour.
For the purposes of section 16(3) above the discretionary referral conditions are satisfied in relation to an offence if—
the offender is being dealt with by the court for the offence and one or more connected offences;
although he pleaded guilty to at least one of the offences mentioned in paragraph (a) above, he also pleaded not guilty to at least one of them;
he has never been convicted by or before a court in the United Kingdom of any offence other than the offences mentioned in paragraph (a) above; and
he has never been bound over in criminal proceedings in England and Wales or Northern Ireland to keep the peace or to be of good behaviour.
The Secretary of State may by regulations make such amendments of this section as he considers appropriate for altering in any way the descriptions of offenders in the case of which the compulsory referral conditions or the discretionary referral conditions fall to be satisfied for the purposes of section 16(2) or (3) above (as the case may be).
Any description of offender having effect for those purposes by virtue of such regulations may be framed by reference to such matters as the Secretary of State considers appropriate, including (in particular) one or more of the following—
the offender’s age;
how the offender has pleaded;
the offence (or offences) of which the offender has been convicted;
the offender’s previous convictions (if any);
how (if at all) the offender has been previously punished or otherwise dealt with by any court; and
any characteristics or behaviour of, or circumstances relating to, any person who has at any time been charged in the same proceedings as the offender (whether or not in respect of the same offence).
For the purposes of this section an offender who has been convicted of an offence in respect of which he was conditionally discharged (whether by a court in England and Wales or in Northern Ireland) shall be treated, despite— as having been convicted of that offence.
section 14(1) above (conviction of offence for which offender so discharged deemed not a conviction), or
Article 6(1) of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 (corresponding provision for Northern Ireland),
A referral order shall—
specify the youth offending team responsible for implementing the order;
require the offender to attend each of the meetings of a youth offender panel to be established by the team for the offender; and
specify the period for which any youth offender contract taking effect between the offender and the panel under section 23 below is to have effect (which must not be less than three nor more than twelve months).
The youth offending team specified under subsection (1)(a) above shall be the team having the function of implementing referral orders in the area in which it appears to the court that the offender resides or will reside.
On making a referral order the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language—
the effect of the order; and
the consequences which may follow—
if no youth offender contract takes effect between the offender and the panel under section 23 below; or
if the offender breaches any of the terms of any such contract.
Subsections (5) to (7) below apply where, in dealing with an offender for two or more connected offences, a court makes a referral order in respect of each, or each of two or more, of the offences.
The orders shall have the effect of referring the offender to a single youth offender panel; and the provision made by them under subsection (1) above shall accordingly be the same in each case, except that the periods specified under subsection (1)(c) may be different.
The court may direct that the period so specified in either or any of the orders is to run concurrently with or be additional to that specified in the other or any of the others; but in exercising its power under this subsection the court must ensure that the total period for which such a contract as is mentioned in subsection (1)(c) above is to have effect does not exceed twelve months.
Each of the orders mentioned in subsection (4) above shall, for the purposes of this Part, be treated as associated with the other or each of the others.
Subsections (2) to (5) below apply where a court makes a referral order in respect of an offence.
The court may not deal with the offender for the offence in any of the prohibited ways.
The court—
shall, in respect of any connected offence, either sentence the offender by making a referral order or make an order discharging him absolutely; and
may not deal with the offender for any such offence in any of the prohibited ways.
For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) above the prohibited ways are—
imposing a community sentence on the offender;
ordering him to pay a fine;
making a reparation order in respect of him; and
making an order discharging him conditionally.
The court may not make, in connection with the conviction of the offender for the offence or any connected offence—
an order binding him over to keep the peace or to be of good behaviour;
an order under section 150 below (binding over of parent or guardian); or
a parenting order under section 8 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
Subsections (2), (3) and (5) above do not affect the exercise of any power to deal with the offender conferred by paragraph 5 (offender referred back to court by panel) or paragraph 14 (powers of a court where offender convicted while subject to referral) of Schedule 1 to this Act.
Where section 16(2) above requires a court to make a referral order, the court may not under section 1 above defer passing sentence on him, but section 16(2) and subsection (3)(a) above do not affect any power or duty of a magistrates' court under—
section 8 above (remission to youth court, or another such court, for sentence);
section 10(3) of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (adjournment for inquiries); or
section 35, 38, 43 or 44 of the Mental Health Act 1983 (remand for reports, interim hospital orders and committal to Crown Court for restriction order).
A court making a referral order may make an order requiring— to attend the meetings of the youth offender panel.
the appropriate person, or
in a case where there are two or more appropriate persons, any one or more of them,
Where an offender is aged under 16 when a court makes a referral order in his case—
the court shall exercise its power under subsection (1) above so as to require at least one appropriate person to attend meetings of the youth offender panel; and
if the offender falls within subsection (6) below, the person or persons so required to attend those meetings shall be or include a representative of the local authority mentioned in that subsection.
The court shall not under this section make an order requiring a person to attend meetings of the youth offender panel—
if the court is satisfied that it would be unreasonable to do so; or
to an extent which the court is satisfied would be unreasonable.
Except where the offender falls within subsection (6) below, each person who is a parent or guardian of the offender is an “appropriate person” for the purposes of this section.
Where the offender falls within subsection (6) below, each of the following is an “appropriate person” for the purposes of this section—
a representative of the local authority mentioned in that subsection; and
each person who is a parent or guardian of the offender with whom the offender is allowed to live.
An offender falls within this subsection if he is (within the meaning of the Children Act 1989) a child who is looked after by a local authority.
If, at the time when a court makes an order under this section— the court must send him or (as the case may be) the authority a copy of the order forthwith.
a person who is required by the order to attend meetings of a youth offender panel is not present in court, or
a local authority whose representative is so required to attend such meetings is not represented in court,
Where a referral order has been made in respect of an offender (or two or more associated referral orders have been so made), it is the duty of the youth offending team specified in the order (or orders)—
to establish a youth offender panel for the offender;
to arrange for the first meeting of the panel to be held for the purposes of section 23 below; and
subsequently to arrange for the holding of any further meetings of the panel required by virtue of section 25 below (in addition to those required by virtue of any other provision of this Part).
A youth offender panel shall— in accordance with guidance given from time to time by the Secretary of State.
be constituted,
conduct its proceedings, and
discharge its functions under this Part (and in particular those arising under section 23 below),
At each of its meetings a panel shall, however, consist of at least—
one member appointed by the youth offending team from among its members; and
two members so appointed who are not members of the team.
The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision requiring persons appointed as members of a youth offender panel to have such qualifications, or satisfy such other criteria, as are specified in the regulations.
Where it appears to the court which made a referral order that, by reason of either a change or a prospective change in the offender’s place or intended place of residence, the youth offending team for the time being specified in the order (“the current team”) either does not or will not have the function of implementing referral orders in the area in which the offender resides or will reside, the court may amend the order so that it instead specifies the team which has the function of implementig such orders in that area (“the new team”).
Where a court so amends a referral order—
subsection (1)(a) above shall apply to the new team in any event;
subsection (1)(b) above shall apply to the new team if no youth offender contract has (or has under paragraph (c) below been treated as having) taken effect under section 23 below between the offender and a youth offender panel established by the current team;
if such a contract has (or has previously under this paragraph been treated as having) so taken effect, it shall (after the amendment) be treated as if it were a contract which had taken effect under section 23 below between the offender and the panel being established for the offender by the new team.
References in this Part to the meetings of a youth offender panel (or any such meeting) are to the following meetings of the panel (or any of them)—
the first meeting held in pursuance of subsection (1)(b) above;
any further meetings held in pursuance of section 25 below;
any progress meeting held under section 26 below; and
the final meeting held under section 27 below.
The specified team shall, in the case of each meeting of the panel established for the offender, notify— of the time and place at which he is required to attend that meeting.
the offender, and
any person to whom an order under section 20 above applies,
If the offender fails to attend any part of such a meeting the panel may— and subsection (1) above shall apply in relation to any such adjourned meeting.
adjourn the meeting to such time and place as it may specify; or
end the meeting and refer the offender back to the appropriate court;
One person aged 18 or over chosen by the offender, with the agreement of the panel, shall be entitled to accompany the offender to any meeting of the panel (and it need not be the same person who accompanies him to every meeting).
The panel may allow to attend any such meeting—
any person who appears to the panel to be a victim of, or otherwise affected by, the offence, or any of the offences, in respect of which the offender was referred to the panel;
any person who appears to the panel to be someone capable of having a good influence on the offender.
Where the panel allows any such person as is mentioned in subsection (4)(a) above (“the victim”) to attend a meeting of the panel, the panel may allow the victim to be accompanied to the meeting by one person chosen by the victim with the agreement of the panel.
At the first meeting of the youth offender panel established for an offender the panel shall seek to reach agreement with the offender on a programme of behaviour the aim (or principal aim) of which is the prevention of re-offending by the offender.
The terms of the programme may, in particular, include provision for any of the following—
the offender to make financial or other reparation to any person who appears to the panel to be a victim of, or otherwise affected by, the offence, or any of the offences, for which the offender was referred to the panel;
the offender to attend mediation sessions with any such victim or other person;
the offender to carry out unpaid work or service in or for the community;
the offender to be at home at times specified in or determined under the programme;
attendance by the offender at a school or other educational establishment or at a place of work;
the offender to participate in specified activities (such as those designed to address offending behaviour, those offering education or training or those assisting with the rehabilitation of persons dependent on, or having a propensity to misuse, alcohol or drugs);
the offender to present himself to specified persons at times and places specified in or determined under the programme;
the offender to stay away from specified places or persons (or both);
enabling the offender’s compliance with the programme to be supervised and recorded.
The programme may not, however, provide—
for the electronic monitoring of the offender’s whereabouts; or
for the offender to have imposed on him any physical restriction on his movements.
No term which provides for anything to be done to or with any such victim or other affected person as is mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above may be included in the programme without the consent of that person.
Where a programme is agreed between the offender and the panel, the panel shall cause a written record of the programme to be produced forthwith—
in language capable of being readily understood by, or explained to, the offender; and
for signature by him.
Once the record has been signed— the terms of the programme, as set out in the record, take effect as the terms of a “youth offender contract” between the offender and the panel; and the panel shall cause a copy of the record to be given or sent to the offender.
by the offender, and
by a member of the panel on behalf of the panel,
This section applies where a youth offender contract has taken effect under section 23 above between an offender and a youth offender panel.
The day on which the contract so takes effect shall be the first day of the period for which it has effect.
Where the panel was established in pursuance of a single referral order, the length of the period for which the contract has effect shall be that of the period specified under section 18(1)(c) above in the referral order.
Where the panel was established in pursuance of two or more associated referral orders, the length of the period for which the contract has effect shall be that resulting from the court’s directions under section 18(6) above.
Subsections (3) and (4) above have effect subject to—
any order under paragraph 11 or 12 of Schedule 1 to this Act extending the length of the period for which the contract has effect; and
subsection (6) below.
If the referral order, or each of the associated referral orders, is revoked (whether under paragraph 5(2) of Schedule 1 to this Act or by virtue of paragraph 14(2) of that Schedule), the period for which the contract has effect expires at the time when the order or orders is or are revoked unless it has already expired.
Where it appears to a youth offender panel to be appropriate to do so, the panel may—
end the first meeting (or any further meeting held in pursuance of paragraph (b) below) without having reached agreement with the offender on a programme of behaviour of the kind mentioned in section 23(1) above; and
resume consideration of the offender’s case at a further meeting of the panel.
If, however, it appears to the panel at the first meeting or any such further meeting that there is no prospect of agreement being reached with the offender within a reasonable period after the making of the referral order (or orders)—
subsection (1)(b) above shall not apply; and
instead the panel shall refer the offender back to the appropriate court.
If at a meeting of the panel— the panel shall end the meeting and refer the offender back to the appropriate court.
agreement is reached with the offender but he does not sign the record produced in pursuance of section 23(5) above, and
his failure to do so appears to the panel to be unreasonable,
At any time— the specified team shall, if so requested by the panel, arrange for the holding of a meeting of the panel under this section (“a progress meeting”).
after a youth offender contract has taken effect under section 23 above, but
before the end of the period for which the contract has effect,
The panel may make a request under subsection (1) above if it appears to the panel to be expedient to review—
the offender’s progress in implementing the programme of behaviour contained in the contract; or
any other matter arising in connection with the contract.
The panel shall make such a request if—
the offender has notified the panel that—
he wishes to seek the panel’s agreement to a variation in the terms of the contract; or
he wishes the panel to refer him back to the appropriate court with a view to the referral order (or orders) being revoked on account of a significant change in his circumstances (such as his being taken to live abroad) making compliance with any youth offender contract impractical; or
it appears to the panel that the offender is in breach of any of the terms of the contract.
At a progress meeting the panel shall do such one or more of the following things as it considers appropriate in the circumstances, namely—
review the offender’s progress or any such other matter as is mentioned in subsection (2) above;
discuss with the offender any breach of the terms of the contract which it appears to the panel that he has committed;
consider any variation in the terms of the contract sought by the offender or which it appears to the panel to be expedient to make in the light of any such review or discussion;
consider whether to accede to any request by the offender that he be referred back to the appropriate court.
Where the panel has discussed with the offender such a breach as is mentioned in subsection (4)(b) above—
the panel and the offender may agree that the offender is to continue to be required to comply with the contract (either in its original form or with any agreed variation in its terms) without being referred back to the appropriate court; or
the panel may decide to end the meeting and refer the offender back to that court.
Where a variation in the terms of the contract is agreed between the offender and the panel, the panel shall cause a written record of the variation to be produced forthwith—
in language capable of being readily understood by, or explained to, the offender; and
for signature by him.
Any such variation shall take effect once the record has been signed— and the panel shall cause a copy of the record to be given or sent to the offender.
by the offender; and
by a member of the panel on behalf of the panel;
If at a progress meeting— the panel may end the meeting and refer the offender back to the appropriate court.
any such variation is agreed but the offender does not sign the record produced in pursuance of subsection (6) above, and
his failure to do so appears to the panel to be unreasonable,
Section 23(2) to (4) above shall apply in connection with what may be provided for by the terms of the contract as varied under this section as they apply in connection with what may be provided for by the terms of a programme of behaviour of the kind mentioned in section 23(1).
Where the panel has discussed with the offender such a request as is mentioned in subsection (4)(d) above, the panel may, if it is satisfied that there is (or is soon to be) such a change in circumstances as is mentioned in subsection (3)(a)(ii) above, decide to end the meeting and refer the offender back to the appropriate court.
Where the compliance period in the case of a youth offender contract is due to expire, the specified team shall arrange for the holding, before the end of that period, of a meeting of the panel under this section (“the final meeting”).
At the final meeting the panel shall— and the panel shall give the offender written confirmation of its decision.
review the extent of the offender’s compliance to date with the terms of the contract; and
decide, in the light of that review, whether his compliance with those terms has been such as to justify the conclusion that, by the time the compliance period expires, he will have satisfactorily completed the contract;
Where the panel decides that the offender’s compliance with the terms of the contract has been such as to justify that conclusion, the panel’s decision shall have the effect of discharging the referral order (or orders) as from the end of the compliance period.
Otherwise the panel shall refer the offender back to the appropriate court.
Nothing in section 22(2) above prevents the panel from making the decision mentioned in subsection (3) above in the offender’s absence if it appears to the panel to be appropriate to do that instead of exercising either of its powers under section 22(2).
Section 22(2)(a) above does not permit the final meeting to be adjourned (or re-adjourned) to a time falling after the end of the compliance period.
In this section “the compliance period”, in relation to a youth offender contract, means the period for which the contract has effect in accordance with section 24 above.
Schedule 1 to this Act, which— shall have effect.
in Part I makes provision for what is to happen when a youth offender panel refers an offender back to the appropriate court, and
in Part II makes provision for what is to happen when an offender is convicted of further offences while for the time being subject to a referral order,
The functions of a youth offending team responsible for implementing a referral order include, in particular, arranging for the provision of such administrative staff, accommodation or other facilities as are required by the youth offender panel established in pursuance of the order.
During the period for which a youth offender contract between a youth offender panel and an offender has effect—
the specified team shall make arrangements for supervising the offender’s compliance with the terms of the contract; and
the person who is the member of the panel referred to in section 21(3)(a) above shall ensure that records are kept of the offender’s compliance (or non-compliance) with those terms.
In implementing referral orders a youth offending team shall have regard to any guidance given from time to time by the Secretary of State.
Any power of the Secretary of State to make regulations under section 17(3) or 21(4) above or paragraph 13(8) of Schedule 1 to this Act shall be exercisable by statutory instrument.

section 17(3), or
paragraph 13(8) of Schedule 1,
Any regulations made by the Secretary of State under section 17(3) or 21(4) or paragraph 13(8) of Schedule 1 may make different provision for different cases, circumstances or areas and may contain such incidental, supplemental, saving or transitional provisions as the Secretary of State thinks fit.
Rules of court may make such provision as appears to the authority making them to be necessary or expedient for the purposes of this Part (and nothing in this section shall be taken to affect the generality of any enactment conferring power to make such rules).

A court shall not pass a community sentence on an offender unless it is of the opinion that the offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it, was serious enough to warrant such a sentence.
In consequence of the provision made by section 51 below with respect to combination orders, a community sentence shall not consist of or include both a probation order and a community service order.
Subject to subsection (2) above and to section 69(5) below (which limits the community orders that may be combined with an action plan order), where a court passes a community sentence—
the particular order or orders comprising or forming part of the sentence shall be such as in the opinion of the court is, or taken together are, the most suitable for the offender; and
the restrictions on liberty imposed by the order or orders shall be such as in the opinion of the court are commensurate with the seriousness of the offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it.
Subsections (1) and (3)(b) above have effect subject to section 59 below (curfew orders and community service orders for persistent petty offenders).
In forming any such opinion as is mentioned in subsection (1) or (3)(b) of section 35 above, a court shall take into account all such information as is available to it about the circumstances of the offence or (as the case may be) of the offence and the offence or offences associated with it, including any aggravating or mitigating factors.

In a case where the offender is aged under 18 and the offence is not triable only on indictment and there is no other offence associated with it that is triable only on indictment, the court shall not form such an opinion as is mentioned in subsection (5) above unless—
there exists a previous pre-sentence report obtained in respect of the offender; and
the court has had regard to the information contained in that report, or, if there is more than one such report, the most recent report.
No community sentence which consists of or includes such an order as is mentioned in subsection (3) above shall be invalidated by the failure of a court to obtain and consider a pre-sentence report before forming an opinion as to the suitability of the order for the offender, but any court on an appeal against such a sentence—
shall, subject to subsection (8) below, obtain a pre-sentence report if none was obtained by the court below; and
shall consider any such report obtained by it or by that court.
Subsection (7)(a) above does not apply if the court is of the opinion—
that the court below was justified in forming an opinion that it was unnecessary to obtain a pre-sentence report; or
that, although the court below was not justified in forming that opinion, in the circumstances of the case at the time it is before the court, it is unnecessary to obtain a pre-sentence report.
In a case where the offender is aged under 18 and the offence is not triable only on indictment and there is no other offence associated with it that is triable only on indictment, the court shall not form such an opinion as is mentioned in subsection (8) above unless—
there exists a previous pre-sentence report obtained in respect of the offender; and
the court has had regard to the information contained in that report, or, if there is more than one such report, the most recent report.
Section 156 below (disclosure of pre-sentence report to offender etc.) applies to any pre-sentence report obtained in pursuance of this section.
Where a person is convicted of an offence, the court by or before which he is convicted may (subject to sections 34 to 36 above) make an order requiring him to remain, for periods specified in the order, at a place so specified.
An order under subsection (1) above is in this Act referred to as a “curfew order”.
A curfew order may specify different places or different periods for different days, but shall not specify—
periods which fall outside the period of six months beginning with the day on which it is made; or
periods which amount to less than two hours or more than twelve hours in any one day.
In relation to an offender aged under 16 on conviction, subsection (3)(a) above shall have effect as if the reference to six months were a reference to three months.
The requirements in a curfew order shall, as far as practicable, be such as to avoid—
any conflict with the offender’s religious beliefs or with the requirements of any other community order to which he may be subject; and
any interference with the times, if any, at which he normally works or attends school or any other educational establishment.
A curfew order shall include provision for making a person responsible for monitoring the offender’s whereabouts during the curfew periods specified in the order; and a person who is made so responsible shall be of a description specified in an order made by the Secretary of State.
A court shall not make a curfew order unless the court has been notified by the Secretary of State that arrangements for monitoring the offender’s whereabouts are available in the area in which the place proposed to be specified in the order is situated and the notice has not been withdrawn.
Before making a curfew order, the court shall obtain and consider information about the place proposed to be specified in the order (including information as to the attitude of persons likely to be affected by the enforced presence there of the offender).
Before making a curfew order in respect of an offender who on conviction is under 16, the court shall obtain and consider information about his family circumstances and the likely effect of such an order on those circumstances.
Before making a curfew order, the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language—
the effect of the order (including any additional requirements proposed to be included in the order in accordance with section 38 below (electronic monitoring));
the consequences which may follow (under Part II of Schedule 3 to this Act) if he fails to comply with any of the requirements of the order; and
that the court has power (under Parts III and IV of that Schedule) to review the order on the application either of the offender or of the responsible officer.

In this Act, “responsible officer”, in relation to an offender subject to a curfew order, means the person who is responsible for monitoring the offender’s whereabouts during the curfew periods specified in the order.
Subject to subsection (2) below, a curfew order may in addition include requirements for securing the electronic monitoring of the offender’s whereabouts during the curfew periods specified in the order.
A court shall not make a curfew order which includes such requirements unless the court—
has been notified by the Secretary of State that electronic monitoring arrangements are available in the area in which the place proposed to be specified in the order is situated; and
is satisfied that the necessary provision can be made under those arrangements.
Electronic monitoring arrangements made by the Secretary of State under this section may include entering into contracts with other persons for the electronic monitoring by them of offenders' whereabouts.
Schedule 3 to this Act (which makes provision for dealing with failures to comply with the requirements of certain community orders, for revoking such orders with or without the substitution of other sentences and for amending such orders) shall have effect so far as relating to curfew orders.
The Secretary of State may make rules for regulating—
the monitoring of the whereabouts of persons who are subject to curfew orders (including electronic monitoring in cases where arrangements for such monitoring are available); and
without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (a) above, the functions of the responsible officers of persons who are subject to curfew orders.
The Secretary of State may by order direct—
that subsection (3) of section 37 above shall have effect with the substitution, for any period there specified, of such period as may be specified in the order; or
that subsection (5) of that section shall have effect with such additional restrictions as may be so specified.

An order under subsection (1) above is in this Act referred to as a “probation order”.
A probation order shall specify the petty sessions area in which the offender resides or will reside.
If the offender is aged 18 or over at the time when the probation order is made, he shall, subject to paragraph 18 of Schedule 3 to this Act (offender’s change of area), be required to be under the supervision of a probation officer appointed for or assigned to the petty sessions area specified in the order.

that the court has power (under Parts III and IV of that Schedule) to review the order on the application either of the offender or of the responsible officer.
On making a probation order, the court may, if it thinks it expedient for the purpose of the offender’s reformation, allow any person who consents to do so to give security for the good behaviour of the offender.
The court by which a probation order is made shall forthwith give copies of the order to— and he shall give a copy to the offender, to the responsible officer and to the person in charge of any institution in which the offender is required by the order to reside.
if the offender is aged 18 or over, a probation officer assigned to the court, or
if the offender is aged under 18, a probation officer or member of a youth offending team so assigned,
The court by which such an order is made shall also, except where it itself acts for the petty sessions area specified in the order, send to the clerk to the justices for that area—
a copy of the order; and
such documents and information relating to the case as it considers likely to be of assistance to a court acting for that area in the exercise of its functions in relation to the order.
An offender in respect of whom a probation order is made shall keep in touch with the responsible officer in accordance with such instructions as he may from time to time be given by that officer, and shall notify him of any change of address.
Subject to subsection (3) below, a probation order may in addition require the offender to comply during the whole or any part of the probation period with such requirements as the court, having regard to the circumstances of the case, considers desirable in the interests of—

The Secretary of State may by order direct that subsection (1) of section 41 above shall be amended by substituting, for the minimum or maximum period specified in that subsection as originally enacted or as previously amended under this subsection, such period as may be specified in the order.
An order under subsection (1) above may make in paragraph 19(2)(a) of Schedule 3 to this Act any amendment which the Secretary of State thinks necessary in consequence of any substitution made by the order.
Where a person aged 16 or over is convicted of an offence punishable with imprisonment, the court by or before which he is convicted may (subject to sections 34 to 36 above) make an order requiring him to perform unpaid work in accordance with section 47 below.
An order under subsection (1) above is in this Act referred to as a “community service order”.
The number of hours which a person may be required to work under a community service order shall be specified in the order and shall be in the aggregate—
not less than 40; and
not more than 240.
A court shall not make a community service order in respect of an offender unless, after hearing (if the court thinks it necessary) an appropriate officer, the court is satisfied that the offender is a suitable person to perform work under such an order.
In subsection (4) above “an appropriate officer” means—
in the case of an offender aged 18 or over, a probation officer or social worker of a local authority social services department; and
in the case of an offender aged under 18, a probation officer, a social worker of a local authority social services department or a member of a youth offending team.
A court shall not make a community service order in respect of an offender unless it is satisfied that provision for him to perform work under such an order can be made under the arrangements for persons to perform work under such orders which exist in the petty sessions area in which he resides or will reside.
Subsection (6) above has effect subject to paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 4 to this Act (transfer of order to Scotland or Northern Ireland).
Where a court makes community service orders in respect of two or more offences of which the offender has been convicted by or before the court, the court may direct that the hours of work specified in any of those orders shall be concurrent with or additional to those specified in any other of those orders, but so that the total number of hours which are not concurrent shall not exceed the maximum specified in subsection (3)(b) above.
A community service order— and if the order specifies a local authority for those purposes, the authority specified must be the local authority within whose area it appears to the court that the offender resides or will reside.
shall specify the petty sessions area in which the offender resides or will reside; and
where the offender is aged under 18 at the time the order is made, may also specify a local authority for the purposes of section 47(5)(b) below (cases where functions are to be discharged by member of a youth offending team);
Before making a community service order, the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language—
the purpose and effect of the order (and in particular the requirements of the order as specified in section 47(1) to (3) below);
the consequences which may follow (under Part II of Schedule 3 to this Act) if he fails to comply with any of those requirements; and

perform for the number of hours specified in the order such work at such times as he may be instructed by the responsible officer.
The instructions given by the responsible officer under this section shall, as far as practicable, be such as to avoid—
any conflict with the offender’s religious beliefs or with the requirements of any other community order to which he may be subject; and

the effect of the order and of the requirements proposed to be included in it;
the consequences which may follow (under Part II of Schedule 3 to this Act) if he fails to comply with any of those requirements;

Supervision by the responsible officer shall be carried out to such extent only as may be necessary for the purpose of enabling him—
to report on the offender’s progress to the court responsible for the order;
to report to that court any failure by the offender to comply with the requirements of the order; and
to determine whether the circumstances are such that he should apply to that court for the revocation or amendment of the order.

In this section references to the court responsible for a drug treatment and testing order are references to—
where a court is specified in the order in accordance with subsection (8) below, that court;
in any other case, the court by which the order is made.
Where the area specified in a drug treatment and testing order made by a magistrates' court is not the area for which the court acts, the court may, if it thinks fit, include in the order provision specifying for the purposes of subsection (7) above a magistrates' court which acts for the area specified in the order.
Where a drug treatment and testing order has been made on an appeal brought from the Crown Court or from the criminal division of the Court of Appeal, for the purposes of subsection (7)(b) above it shall be deemed to have been made by the Crown Court.
At a review hearing (within the meaning given by subsection (6) of section 54 above) the court may, after considering the responsible officer’s report referred to in that subsection, amend any requirement or provision of the drug treatment and testing order.
The court—
shall not amend the treatment or testing requirement unless the offender expresses his willingness to comply with the requirement as amended;
shall not amend any provision of the order so as to reduce the treatment and testing period below the minimum specified in section 52(1) above, or to increase it above the maximum so specified; and
except with the consent of the offender, shall not amend any requirement or provision of the order while an appeal against the order is pending.
If the offender fails to express his willingness to comply with the treatment or testing requirement as proposed to be amended by the court, the court may—

In dealing with the offender under subsection (3)(b) above, the court—
shall take into account the extent to which the offender has complied with the requirements of the order; and
may impose a custodial sentence (where the order was made in respect of an offence punishable with such a sentence) notwithstanding anything in section 79(2) below.

to impose a fine not exceeding £5,000 for the offence in respect of which the order was made;
to deal with the offender for that offence in any way in which the court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of an offence punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.
If at a review hearing the court, after considering the responsible officer’s report, is of the opinion that the offender’s progress under the order is satisfactory, the court may so amend the order as to provide for each subsequent review to be made by the court without a hearing.
If at a review without a hearing the court, after considering the responsible officer’s report, is of the opinion that the offender’s progress under the order is no longer satisfactory, the court may require the offender to attend a hearing of the court at a specified time and place.
At that hearing the court, after considering that report, may—
exercise the powers conferred by this section as if the hearing were a review hearing; and
so amend the order as to provide for each subsequent review to be made at a review hearing.
In this section any reference to the court, in relation to a review without a hearing, shall be construed—
in the case of the Crown Court, as a reference to a judge of the court;
in the case of a magistrates' court, as a reference to a justice of the peace acting for the commission area for which the court acts.

if it were not so satisfied, the court would be minded to impose a fine in respect of the offence.
The conditions are that—
one or more fines imposed on the offender in respect of one or more previous offences have not been paid; and
if a fine were imposed in an amount which was commensurate with the seriousness of the offence, the offender would not have sufficient means to pay it.
The court may— in respect of the offender instead of imposing a fine.

shall not exceed 24 where the person is aged under 16; and
shall not exceed 36 where the person is aged 16 or over but under 21 or (where subsection (1)(c) above applies) under 25.

to the number specified in the previous order; or
to the fact that that order is still in effect.
An attendance centre order shall not be made unless the court is satisfied that the attendance centre to be specified in it is reasonably accessible to the person concerned, having regard to his age, the means of access available to him and any other circumstances.

on payment of the whole sum to any person authorised to receive it, the attendance centre order shall cease to have effect;
on payment of a part of the sum to any such person, the total number of hours for which the defaulter is required to attend at the centre shall be reduced proportionately, that is to say by such number of complete hours as bears to the total number the proportion most nearly approximating to, without exceeding, the proportion which the part bears to the whole sum.

Section 132 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 contains provision about the minimum term of imprisonment which may be imposed by a magistrates' court.
This section applies where a person is convicted of an offence punishable with a custodial sentence other than one—
fixed by law; or
falling to be imposed under section 109(2), 110(2) or 111(2) below.
Subject to subsection (3) below, the court shall not pass a custodial sentence on the offender unless it is of the opinion—
that the offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it, was so serious that only such a sentence can be justified for the offence; or
where the offence is a violent or sexual offence, that only such a sentence would be adequate to protect the public from serious harm from him.
Nothing in subsection (2) above shall prevent the court from passing a custodial sentence on the offender if he fails to express his willingness to comply with—
a requirement which is proposed by the court to be included in a probation order or supervision order and which requires an expression of such willingness; or
a requirement which is proposed by the court to be included in a drug treatment and testing order or an order under section 52(4) above (order to provide samples).
Where a court passes a custodial sentence, it shall—
in a case not falling within subsection (3) above, state in open court that it is of the opinion that either or both of paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (2) above apply and why it is of that opinion; and
in any case, explain to the offender in open court and in ordinary language why it is passing a custodial sentence on him.
A magistrates' court shall cause a reason stated by it under subsection (4) above to be specified in the warrant of commitment and to be entered in the register.
This section applies where a court passes a custodial sentence other than one fixed by law or falling to be imposed under section 109(2) below.
Subject to sections 110(2) and 111(2) below, the custodial sentence shall be—
for such term (not exceeding the permitted maximum) as in the opinion of the court is commensurate with the seriousness of the offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it; or
where the offence is a violent or sexual offence, for such longer term (not exceeding that maximum) as in the opinion of the court is necessary to protect the public from serious harm from the offender.
Where the court passes a custodial sentence for a term longer than is commensurate with the seriousness of the offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it, the court shall—
state in open court that it is of the opinion that subsection (2)(b) above applies and why it is of that opinion; and
explain to the offender in open court and in ordinary language why the sentence is for such a term.
A custodial sentence for an indeterminate period shall be regarded for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) above as a custodial sentence for a term longer than any actual term.
Subsection (3) above shall not apply in any case where the court passes a custodial sentence falling to be imposed under subsection (2) of section 110 or 111 below which is for the minimum term specified in that subsection.
Subject to subsection (2) below, a court shall obtain and consider a pre-sentence report before forming any such opinion as is mentioned in subsection (2) of section 79 or 80 above.
Subsection (1) above does not apply if, in the circumstances of the case, the court is of the opinion that it is unnecessary to obtain a pre-sentence report.
In a case where the offender is aged under 18 and the offence is not triable only on indictment and there is no other offence associated with it that is triable only on indictment, the court shall not form such an opinion as is mentioned in subsection (2) above unless—
there exists a previous pre-sentence report obtained in respect of the offender; and
the court has had regard to the information contained in that report, or, if there is more than one such report, the most recent report.
In forming any such opinion as is mentioned in subsection (2) of section 79 or 80 above, a court—
shall take into account all such information as is available to it about the circumstances of the offence or (as the case may be) of the offence and the offence or offences associated with it, including any aggravating or mitigating factors; and
in the case of any such opinion as is mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection, may take into account any information about the offender which is before it.
No custodial sentence shall be invalidated by the failure of a court to obtain and consider a pre-sentence report before forming an opinion referred to in subsection (1) above, but any court on an appeal against such a sentence—
shall, subject to subsection (6) below, obtain a pre-sentence report if none was obtained by the court below; and
shall consider any such report obtained by it or by that court.
Subsection (5)(a) above does not apply if the court is of the opinion—
that the court below was justified in forming an opinion that it was unnecessary to obtain a pre-sentence report; or
that, although the court below was not justified in forming that opinion, in the circumstances of the case at the time it is before the court, it is unnecessary to obtain a pre-sentence report.
In a case where the offender is aged under 18 and the offence is not triable only on indictment and there is no other offence associated with it that is triable only on indictment, the court shall not form such an opinion as is mentioned in subsection (6) above unless—
there exists a previous pre-sentence report obtained in respect of the offender; and
the court has had regard to the information contained in that report, or, if there is more than one such report, the most recent report.
Section 156 below (disclosure of pre-sentence report to offender etc.) applies to any pre-sentence report obtained in pursuance of this section.
Subject to subsection (2) below, in any case where the offender is or appears to be mentally disordered, the court shall obtain and consider a medical report before passing a custodial sentence other than one fixed by law or falling to be imposed under section 109(2) below.
Subsection (1) above does not apply if, in the circumstances of the case, the court is of the opinion that it is unnecessary to obtain a medical report.
Before passing a custodial sentence, other than one fixed by law or falling to be imposed under section 109(2) below, on an offender who is or appears to be mentally disordered, a court shall consider—
any information before it which relates to his mental condition (whether given in a medical report, a pre-sentence report or otherwise); and
the likely effect of such a sentence on that condition and on any treatment which may be available for it.
No custodial sentence which is passed in a case to which subsection (1) above applies shall be invalidated by the failure of a court to comply with that subsection, but any court on an appeal against such a sentence—
shall obtain a medical report if none was obtained by the court below; and
shall consider any such report obtained by it or by that court.
In this section, “mentally disordered”, in relation to any person, means suffering from a mental disorder within the meaning of the Mental Health 83.
In this section, “medical report” means a report as to an offender’s mental condition made or submitted orally or in writing by a registered medical practitioner who is approved for the purposes of section 12 of the Mental Health Act 1983 by the Secretary of State as having special experience in the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorder.
Nothing in this section shall be taken as prejudicing the generality of section 81 above.
A magistrates' court on summary conviction, or the Crown Court on committal for sentence or on conviction on indictment, shall not pass a sentence of imprisonment on a person who— unless he is a person to whom subsection (3) below applies.
is not legally represented in that court, and
has not been previously sentenced to that punishment by a court in any part of the United Kingdom,
A magistrates' court on summary conviction, or the Crown Court on committal for sentence or on conviction on indictment, shall not— on or in respect of a person who is not legally represented in that court unless he is a person to whom subsection (3) below applies.
pass a sentence of detention under section 90 or 91 below,
pass a sentence of custody for life under section 93 or 94 below,
pass a sentence of detention in a young offender institution, or
make a detention and training order,
This subsection applies to a person if either—
he was granted a right to representation funded by the Legal Services Commission as part of the Criminal Defence Service but the right was withdrawn because of his conduct; or
having been informed of his right to apply for such representation and having had the opportunity to do so, he refused or failed to apply.
For the purposes of this section a person is to be treated as legally represented in a court if, but only if, he has the assistance of counsel or a solicitor to represent him in the proceedings in that court at some time after he is found guilty and before he is sentenced.
For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) above a previous sentence of imprisonment which has been suspended and which has not taken effect under section 119 below or under section 19 of the Treatment of Offenders Act (Northern Ireland) 1968 shall be disregarded.
In this section “sentence of imprisonment” does not include a committal for contempt of court or any kindred offence.
A court sentencing a person to a term of imprisonment shall not order or direct that the term shall commence on the expiry of any other sentence of imprisonment from which he has been released under Part II of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (early release of prisoners).
Expressions used in this section shall be construed as if they were contained in that Part.
Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (2) above, any reference in this section to imprisonment shall be construed in accordance with section 43 (young offenders) and section 45 (fine defaulters and contemnors) of that Act.
This section applies where a court—
proposes to impose a custodial sentence for a sexual or violent offence committed on or after 30th September 1998; and
considers that the period (if any) for which the offender would, apart from this section, be subject to a licence would not be adequate for the purpose of preventing the commission by him of further offences and securing his rehabilitation.
Subject to subsections (3) to (5) below, the court may pass on the offender an extended sentence, that is to say, a custodial sentence the term of which is equal to the aggregate of—
the term of the custodial sentence that the court would have imposed if it had passed a custodial sentence otherwise than under this section (“the custodial term”); and
a further period (“the extension period”) for which the offender is to be subject to a licence and which is of such length as the court considers necessary for the purpose mentioned in subsection (1) above.
Where the offence is a violent offence, the court shall not pass an extended sentence the custodial term of which is less than four years.
The extension period shall not exceed—
ten years in the case of a sexual offence; and
five years in the case of a violent offence.
The term of an extended sentence passed in respect of an offence shall not exceed the maximum term permitted for that offence.
Subsection (2) of section 80 above (length of discretionary custodial sentences) shall apply as if the term of an extended sentence did not include the extension period.
The Secretary of State may by order amend paragraph (b) of subsection (4) above by substituting a different period, not exceeding ten years, for the period for the time being specified in that paragraph.
In this section “licence” means a licence under Part II of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (early release of prisoners).
Where, in the case of a long-term or short-term prisoner— sections 33(3) and 37(1) of that Act shall each have effect as if for the reference to three-quarters of his sentence there were substituted a reference to the whole of that sentence.
the whole or any part of his sentence was imposed for a sexual offence committed before 30th September 1998, and
the court by which he was sentenced for that offence, having had regard to the matters mentioned in section 32(6)(a) and (b) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991, ordered that this section should apply,
Expressions used in this section shall be construed as if they were contained in Part II of the Criminal Justice Act 1991.
The reference in subsection (1) above to section 33(3) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 is to section 33(3) as it has effect without the amendment made by section 104(1) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (which substituted the words “on licence” for the word “unconditionally” and does not apply in relation to a prisoner whose sentence or any part of whose sentence was imposed for an offence committed before 30th September 1998).
This section applies where—
a court sentences an offender to imprisonment for a term in respect of an offence committed after the commencement of this section; and
the offender has been remanded in custody (within the meaning given by section 88 below) in connection with the offence or a related offence, that is to say, any other offence the charge for which was founded on the same facts or evidence.
It is immaterial for that purpose whether the offender—
has also been remanded in custody in connection with other offences; or
has also been detained in connection with other matters.
Subject to subsection (4) below, the court shall direct that the number of days for which the offender was remanded in custody in connection with the offence or a related offence shall count as time served by him as part of the sentence.
Subsection (3) above shall not apply if and to the extent that—
rules made by the Secretary of State so provide in the case of—
a remand in custody which is wholly or partly concurrent with a sentence of imprisonment; or
sentences of imprisonment for consecutive terms or for terms which are wholly or partly concurrent; or
it is in the opinion of the court just in all the circumstances not to give a direction under that subsection.
Where the court gives a direction under subsection (3) above, it shall state in open court—
the number of days for which the offender was remanded in custody; and
the number of days in relation to which the direction is given.
Where the court does not give a direction under subsection (3) above, or gives such a direction in relation to a number of days less than that for which the offender was remanded in custody, it shall state in open court—
that its decision is in accordance with rules made under paragraph (a) of subsection (4) above; or
that it is of the opinion mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection and what the circumstances are.
Rules under subsection (4)(a) above may make such incidental, supplemental and consequential provisions as may appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient.
For the purposes of this section a suspended sentence—
shall be treated as a sentence of imprisonment when it takes effect under section 119 below; and
shall be treated as being imposed by the order under which it takes effect.
“sentence of imprisonment” does not include a committal— and references in this section to sentencing an offender to imprisonment, and to an offender’s sentence, shall be construed accordingly.
For the purposes of the reference in subsection (3) above to the term of imprisonment to which a person has been sentenced (that is to say, the reference to his “sentence”), consecutive terms and terms which are wholly or partly concurrent shall be treated as a single term if—
the sentences were passed on the same occasion; or
where they were passed on different occasions, the person has not been released under Part II of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (early release of prisoners) at any time during the period beginning with the first and ending with the last of those occasions.
Where an offence is found to have been committed over a period of two or more days, or at some time during a period of two or more days, it shall be taken for the purposes of subsection (1) above to have been committed on the last of those days.
This section applies to— as it applies to an equivalent sentence of imprisonment.
a determinate sentence of detention under section 91 below, and
a sentence of detention in a young offender institution,
References in section 87 above to an offender’s being remanded in custody are references to his being—
held in police detention;
remanded in or committed to custody by an order of a court;
remanded or committed to local authority accommodation under section 23 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 and placed and kept in secure accommodation; or
remanded, admitted or removed to hospital under section 35, 36, 38 or 48 of the Mental Health Act 1983.
A person is in police detention for the purposes of subsection (1) above—
at any time when he is in police detention for the purposes of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984; and
at any time when he is detained under section 14 of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989.
In subsection (1) above, “secure accommodation” has the same meaning as in section 23 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969.
Subject to subsection (2) below, no court shall—
pass a sentence of imprisonment on a person for an offence if he is aged under 21 when convicted of the offence; or
commit a person aged under 21 to prison for any reason.
Nothing in subsection (1) above shall prevent the committal to prison of a person aged under 21 who is—
remanded in custody;
committed in custody for trial or sentence; or
sent in custody for trial under section 51 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
Where a person convicted of murder appears to the court to have been aged under 18 at the time the offence was committed, the court shall (notwithstanding anything in this or any other Act) sentence him to be detained during Her Majesty’s pleasure.
Subsection (3) below applies where a person aged under 18 is convicted on indictment of—
an offence punishable in the case of a person aged 21 or over with imprisonment for 14 years or more, not being an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law; or
an offence under section 14 of the Sexual Offences Act 1956 (indecent assault on a woman); or
an offence under section 15 of that Act (indecent assault on a man) committed after 30th September 1997.
Subsection (3) below also applies where a person aged at least 14 but under 18 is convicted of an offence under—
section 1 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (causing death by dangerous driving); or
section 3A of that Act (causing death by careless driving while under influence of drink or drugs).
If the court is of the opinion that none of the other methods in which the case may legally be dealt with is suitable, the court may sentence the offender to be detained for such period, not exceeding the maximum term of imprisonment with which the offence is punishable in the case of a person aged 21 or over, as may be specified in the sentence.
Subsection (3) above is subject to (in particular) sections 79 and 80 above.
A person sentenced to be detained under section 90 or 91 above shall be liable to be detained in such place and under such conditions—
as the Secretary of State may direct; or
as the Secretary of State may arrange with any person.
A person detained pursuant to the directions or arrangements made by the Secretary of State under this section shall be deemed to be in legal custody.
A direction of the Secretary of State under this section may be signified only— and arrangements of the Secretary of State under this section may be signified only as mentioned in paragraph (a) above.
under the hand of the Secretary of State or an Under-Secretary of State or an Assistant Under-Secretary; or
under the hand of an authorised officer;
Where a person aged under 21 is convicted of murder or any other offence the sentence for which is fixed by law as imprisonment for life, the court shall sentence him to custody for life unless he is liable to be detained under section 90 above.
Where a person aged at least 18 but under 21 is convicted of an offence— the court shall, if it considers that a sentence for life would be appropriate, sentence him to custody for life.
for which the sentence is not fixed by law, but
for which a person aged 21 or over would be liable to imprisonment for life,
Subsection (1) above is subject to (in particular) sections 79 and 80 above, but this subsection does not apply in relation to a sentence which falls to be imposed under section 109(2) below.
Subject to section 22(2)(b) of the Prison Act 1952 (removal to hospital etc.), an offender sentenced to custody for life shall be detained in a young offender institution unless a direction under subsection (2) below is in force in relation to him.
The Secretary of State may from time to time direct that an offender sentenced to custody for life shall be detained in a prison or remand centre instead of a young offender institution.
Subject to sections 90, 93 and 94 above, where— the sentence that the court is to pass is a sentence of detention in a young offender institution.
a person aged at least 18 but under 21 is convicted of an offence which is punishable with imprisonment in the case of a person aged 21 or over, and
the court is of the opinion that either or both of paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 79(2) above apply or the case falls within section 79(3),
The maximum term of detention in a young offender institution that a court may impose for an offence is the same as the maximum term of imprisonment that it may impose for that offence.
Subject to subsection (3) below, a court shall not pass a sentence for an offender’s detention in a young offender institution for less than 21 days.
A court may pass a sentence of detention in a young offender institution for less than 21 days for an offence under section 65(6) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (breach of requirement imposed on young offender on his release from detention).
Where— the court shall have the same power to pass consecutive sentences of detention in a young offender institution as if they were sentences of imprisonment.

an offender who is serving a sentence of detention in a young offender institution is convicted of one or more further offences for which he is liable to such a sentence,
