Home Office publishes response to consultation on Knife Crime Prevention Orders

The government published draft guidance for consultation on the operation of Knife Crime Prevention Orders on 15 August 2019. Knife Crime Prevention Orders are provided for by the Offensive Weapons Act 2019.

We received 36 separate responses from a variety of organisations and individuals.

The government would like to thank all those who contributed to the development of the guidance on Knife Crime Prevention Orders. Following detailed consideration of the responses, the government’s guidance on Knife Crime Prevention Orders is published alongside this consultation response document.

The guidance is primarily intended to be used by the police and Crown Prosecution Service but will also be of interest to the judiciary and groups that represent young people and adults within the criminal justice system.
