Study Notes
Acquisitive Crimes - Preventative Offences
- Sections 57(1) and 58(1) of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 address acquisitive crimes, with Section 58 allowing offenses to occur in public places while Section 57 is limited to private premises.
- A "Certain Person" under Section 58(4) refers to an individual with two or more theft or robbery convictions; spent convictions are excluded from this definition.
- The Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019 updates the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, allowing certain convictions to be disregarded after a specified period.
Power of Arrest
- Sections 57 and 58 provide essential police powers to manage potential theft situations effectively.
- The Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 Section 1 grants police broader powers to arrest individuals suspected of theft-related offenses.
- An example of enforcement: On 13th March 2020, Oliver Mason was found on private property with intent to commit theft, leading to charges under Section 57(1).
Power to Detain
- Section 59(3) empowers property owners, tenants, and authorized persons to apprehend suspected offenders found on their premises until police arrive.
- Often, theft offenses are reported by the public rather than discovered directly by law enforcement.
Practical Considerations
- Sections 57, 58, and 59 do not grant search powers; officers suspecting possession of stolen goods may search under Section 60 of the Civic Government Scotland Act 1982.
- If an officer witnesses a suspect disposing of stolen property, they should act under Section 58(1).
- It is vital to establish previous convictions quickly to support arrest processes, often requiring coordination with a control room.
- Arresting under Section 1 for "Not Officially Accused" is preferred unless the case is apparent, suggesting thorough inquiry is necessary.
Conclusion and Reflection
- The modules equip participants with knowledge of preventative offenses and their legal implications in daily policing and law enforcement roles.
- Participants are encouraged to reflect on how this knowledge enhances their professional skills and identify areas for further development.
