Details

The factsheets contain details on the changes which are outlined in the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019. They explain why they are needed and what impact they will have.

The act will help reduce the threat posed by terrorism and hostile state activity by:

• updating terrorism offences for the digital age, and to reflect contemporary patterns of radicalisation
• disrupting terrorism by enabling the police and Crown Prosecution Service to intervene at an earlier stage in investigations
• ensuring that sentences properly reflect the severity seriousness of terrorism offences, and strengthen the ability of the police to manage terrorist offenders after their release
• strengthening the country’s defences at the border against hostile state activity
