“The bill would permit injunctions against anyone of 10 or older who ‘has engaged or threatens to engage in conduct capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to any person’. The bill also introduces public space protection orders, which can prevent either everybody or particular kinds of people from doing certain things in certain places. It creates new dispersal powers, which can be used by the police to exclude people from an area (there is no size limit), whether or not they have done anything wrong. One homeless young man was sentenced to five years in jail for begging: an offence for which no custodial sentence exists.”
