Homicide: Offenders
Asked by: Steve Witherden (Labour - Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr) Wednesday 15th October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether bereaved families of victims of murder would be protected under the restriction zone requirement in the Sentencing Bill. Answered by Jake Richards - Assistant Whip It is crucial that we have a justice system that punishes offenders and supports victims. That is why increasing restriction on serious sexual and violent offenders is part of our Plan for Change to cut crime and make streets safer. Through the Sentencing Bill, we are introducing a new power which will allow restriction zones on offenders to be imposed on offenders on licence, where appropriate. These will restrict certain offenders to specific areas – so their victims know they are safe wherever else they want to go. Licence conditions for offenders convicted of murder are determined by the independent Parole Board. We are working to finalise the operation of, and eligibility for, these zones, subject to the passage of the Sentencing Bill. |
