Part 2 - Criminal Voyeurism - Voyeurism as a Criminal Offence: A Consultation Paper   (Site not responding. Last check: ) By this formulation of the offence, as long as the viewing or recording is done for a sexual purpose, it does not matter whether or not the victim was naked, engaged in explicit sexual activity, etc. when the viewing or recording took place. The second branch of the offence would recognize that it may be difficult to establish that the viewing or recording was done "for a sexual purpose" in circumstances where the victim and the offender do not have physical contact. As with the first branch of the voyeurism offence, the Crown would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the viewing or recording was done surreptitiously, in circumstances where the victim had a reasonable expectation of privacy. canada.justice.gc.ca /en/cons/voy/part2-criminal.html   (827 words)

UK Government To Make Every Offence Arrestable Plans to make every offence arrestable, including minor crimes such as littering or spraying walls with graffiti, were criticised yesterday by solicitors for giving the police excessive powers.

Overall offence rate - Statistics New Zealand The recorded offence rate rose steadily from 55 per 1,000 population in 1970 to an all-time peak of 132 per 1,000 population in 1992. One factor that may have influenced the increase in the offence rate between 1970 and 1992 is that many of the baby boomers reached the age group where most offending occurs (15 to 30 years). Two examples of this include the indecent videos offence class, which came into existence when the Video Recordings Act was passed in 1987, and drinking of alcohol by 18 and 19-year-olds which ceased to be an offence when the drinking age was lowered to 18 in December 1999. www.stats.govt.nz /analytical-reports/crime-in-nz/overall-offence-rate.htm   (461 words)

Officers will have to satisfy themselves of "a person's involvement or suspected involvement or attempted involvement in the commission of a criminal offence" and that there are "reasonable grounds for believing that the person's arrest is necessary". www.infowars.com /articles/ps/now_you_can_be_arrested_for_any_offence.htm   (661 words)

The Offence During that time - and even shortly before - he sought to branch out and prove to critics and audiences alike that there was more to him than the Bond role was letting on. The Offence, written by John Hopkins and directed by Sidney Lumet, who had already gotten a brilliant performance from the actor in 1965's The Hill, was yet another flop and, to this day, it remains surprisingly obscure.
