Child Rapists No Longer Automatically Given Early Release Under New Law

12 Thursday Feb 2015

A range of new laws given Royal Assent today, means that child rapists serving prison sentences will no longer be automatically released after serving half of their sentence.

Offenders will have to show that they are no longer a danger to the public, in order to secure release, under the new measures in place.

The measures not only affect child rapists, but those individuals who have committed other serious offences in law, including terrorist acts.

The changes are expected to affect around 500 offenders a year.

The Criminal Justice and Courts Bill sets out the new measures which include life imprisonment for killing a police or prison officer, and fines and possible prison sentences for the newly defined phenomenon, revenge porn.

These are the news items we think should be right on the radar:

  • First Cut – Kicked Out Kids: A documentary charting the course of young care leavers as they make their way in the world. (Watch 17 February, 11pm on Channel 4)
  • Adopted Children and The Pupil Premium: Working with schools and boroughs to support adopted children
  • Filming in care homes: Advice issued 

We would like to thank the lovely Anne Ovens for sharing the documentary details with us and the ever-generous Dana for the final news item on care homes and filming.
