註釋In the words of the Government "the most radical overhaul of sex offences legislation for 50 years" is about to happen. The aim of this new legislation is to provide a coherent and effective legal framework governing sexual offences, while at the same time increasing protection of children and vulnerable persons and imposing greater maximum penalties on offenders. Major proposals contained in the Act include: Increased protection for children in the form of a new offence of 'grooming' designed to deal with those who meet children with the intention of committing a sex offence; greater penalties for sexual offences against children; and a range of new offences designed to deal with inappropriate sexual behaviour with children; Strengthening of the registration of sex offenders including the requirement that those registered confirm their details annually (rather than every 5 years) and provide their National Insurance details to safeguard against evasion; and Clarification of the law of consent in rape, the introduction of new sexual offences such as assault by penetration and sexual assault and the strengthening of existing offences, for example in relation to drug rape. Sexual Offences: The New Law is an authoritative guide to the new law. In addition to the detailed commentary, the text of the Act as it applies to England & Wales is included. REVIEWS "This is not the only guide to the Act, but as a practitioner`s guide, it works particularly well. The author is an academic, but his approach to the subject is firmly practical. The layout is very clear and allows easy and quick reference to relevant passages...an excellent text" New Law Journal
