“A Guide to Stalking Protection Orders and Knife Crime Prevention Orders” 

Hosted by Anne Studd QC and Molly Joyce

Wednesday 20th May at 2.30pm

Following recent media reports about a surge in cyber-stalking during the lockdown, and the potential for a rise in knife and violent crime when the lockdown restrictions start to be relaxed, Anne Studd QC and Molly Joyce will discuss two civil protection tools recently introduced to help police tackle these specific areas of offending.

This webinar will focus on providing practical guidance to police forces on how to successfully apply for these orders.
