Management of terrorist offenders

After the December 2019 London Bridge terrorist attack by a convicted terrorist released on licence, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation was asked to report whether changes were needed in the system for managing terrorist offenders.

Sections 325 to 327B of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (CJA 2003) provide for the establishment of Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) across England and Wales. These require the police, probation and prison services to work together with other agencies to assess and manage the risks posed by violent and sexual offenders living in the community in order to protect the public. Offenders who meet the criteria set out in CJA 2003, ss 325 to 327 are subject to management under the MAPPA process.
