A large part of the Act\n\u003cbr\u003efocuses on sentencing and is a response to our overcrowded prisons. The Act introduces important new offences (including incitement to hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation and possession of extreme pornographic images), and a number of significant changes to criminal law and procedure. The Act also expands on the range of civil 'behaviour orders' available in the criminal courts by extending the existing 'crack house' closure order regime for premises upon which anti-social behaviour\n\u003cbr\u003etakes place and by introducing a new Violent Offender Order. It also introduces a new restricted immigration status, following the Home Secretary's defeat in the Court of Appeal in the 'Afghan Hijackers'\n\u003cbr\u003ecase in 2006.This new Blackstone's Guide combines the full text of the Act with an expert narrative.
