Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006

The United Kingdom Government published a paper "Drinking Responsibly - The Government's Proposals" [ [http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/documents/2005-cons-drinking/2205-cons-drinking-doc?view=Binary Drinking Responsibly - The Government's Proposals] ] in 2005 setting out their proposals for introducing drinking banning orders. The proposals included a range of prohibitions through banning orders. Schedule 5 of the act repeals the Licensed Premises (Exclusion of Certain Persons) Act 1980 because the exclusions from certain premises under the provisions of that act are made redundant.The 66 sections and 5 schedules of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 [ [http://www.wikicrimeline.co.uk/index.php?title=Violent_Crime_Reduction_Act_2006 Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006] ] cover a wide range of measures. PART 1 of the act deals with alcohol-related violence and disorder. Part 2 deals with weapons. PART 3 deals with football disorder, sexual offences, anti-social behaviour, parenting orders, mobile phone reprogramming, and licensing in relation to sports grounds.
