  • Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI) DATA SHEET
    Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI) DATA SHEET There is probably no other State in the world that has undergone a similar process of profound and intense transformation in its conceptions, structures, practices and policing model as has Northern Ireland since the second half of the nineties. One of the most important figures that resulted from this reform is that of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI), undoubtedly the most modern and powerful police external oversight mechanism in the world and a mandatory reference for any scholar or specialist interested in police accountability. Here is a data sheet with the most important aspects of this mechanism. Corporate Governance . The Police Ombudsman is appointed by Her Majesty, as a named person for a fixed term of seven years. His Office has 150 staff and an annual operating budget of around 9 million pounds . The Office of the Police Ombudsman is situated in Belfast and provides a continuous service 24 hours a day to the people and police of Northern Ireland. The Police Ombudsman is accountable to the Northern Ireland Assembly, through the Minister for Justice. The status of the Office of the Police Ombudsman is that of a non-departmental public body (NDPB) administrated through the Department of Justice. The Office does not carry out its functions on behalf of the Crown. The Police Ombudsman also investigates complaints against the Belfast Harbour Police, Larne Harbour Police, the Belfast International Airport Police and Ministry of Defence Police in Northern Ireland and the Serious Organised Crime Agency when its staff operates in this jurisdiction.

These Explanatory Notes relate to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 which received Royal Assent on 26 March 2015. They have been prepared by the Home Office in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The Notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2, 2017 Accepted: April 19, 2017 Online Published: April 27, 2017 doi:10.5539/par.v6n1p53 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/par.v6n1p53 1. INTRODUCTION English criminal - and criminal procedure - legislation is in a parlous state. Presently, there are some 286 Acts covering criminal law and criminal procedure with the former comprising c.155 Acts. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Judge CJ, in his book, The Safest Shield (2015), described the current volume of criminal legislation as 'suffocating'. 1 If one considers all legislation extant from 1267 - 1925 (see Appendix A) a considerable quantity comprises criminal law and criminal procedure - most of which is (likely) obsolete.2 Given this, the purpose of this article is to look at criminal legislation in the period 1267-1970 as well as criminal procedure legislation in the period 1267-1925. Its conclusions are simple: (a) the Law Commission should review all criminal legislation pre-1890 as well as a few pieces thereafter (see Appendix B). It should also review (likely) obsolete common law crimes (see Appendix C); (b) at the same time, the Ministry of Justice (or Home Office) should consolidate all criminal legislation post-1890 into 4 Crime Acts.3 These should deal with: (a) Sex crimes; (b) Public order crimes; (c) Crimes against the person; (d) Property and financial crimes (see 7).
