Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019

Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019 An Act of the Scottish Parliament to make provision for electronic monitoring of offenders and as to certain other restrictive measures imposable on offenders; to make provision about periods and processes as regards disclosure of convictions by offenders; and to make provision concerning particular aspects of the system governing parole of offenders. When making a person subject to a disposal listed in section 3(2), a court may additionally require the person to submit to monitoring by means of an approved device. Section 8(1) describes what an approved device is in relation to a requirement under subsection (1). A requirement under subsection (1) means that the person— is to be monitored by a person designated under section 11(1)(a), and is bound by the obligations set out in section 12(2) and (3). Monitoring by virtue of a requirement under subsection (1) is for the purpose of ascertaining whether the person— is complying with the specified aspects of the disposal, and is fulfilling the obligations set out in section 12(2) and (3). The court must— explain to the person the purpose mentioned in subsection (4), and warn the person of the consequences of failing to fulfil the obligations set out in section 12(2) and (3). A requirement under subsection (1) is to be made by means of an order of the court (the form of which is to be prescribed by Act of Adjournal). In subsection (4)(a), the reference to the specified aspects is to the particular aspects specified by the court when disposing of the person's case. If a person's agreement to a disposal mentioned in a particular paragraph of section 3(2) is necessary before the person can become subject to the disposal, the person's agreement to becoming subject to a requirement under section 1(1) is necessary before the requirement can be made in addition to the disposal. A requirement made under section 1(1) lasts for as long as the person is subject to the associated disposal, but a court which makes a requirement under section 1(1) may vary or revoke the requirement in conjunction with the variation or revocation by it under an enactment of the associated disposal. In subsection (1), the reference to agreement to a disposal includes agreement, consent or willingness to becoming subject to the disposal. Subsection (2) contains the list referred to in section 1(1). This is the list— making an order under, or in any way altering an order made under, section 209(1) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (relating to supervised release in certain cases under Part 1 of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993), making an order under, or varying an order made under, section 245A of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (in that Act called a restriction of liberty order), imposing a requirement restricting movements by virtue of, or varying such a requirement imposed by virtue of, section 234CA(1) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (relating to a drug treatment and testing order within the meaning given by section 234B(2) of that Act), imposing a restricted movement requirement by virtue of, or varying such a requirement imposed by virtue of, section 227A(2)(j) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (relating to a community payback order under section 227A(1) of that Act), making an order by virtue of, or varying or renewing an order made by virtue of, section 104(1)(b) as read with section 104(2) and (3) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (relating to sexual offences prevention), making an order under, or varying or renewing an order made under, section 11 of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016 (relating to sexual risk or harm). imposing conditions on bail under section 24(4) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995, varying the conditions imposed on bail— under section 28(4)(c) of that Act, pursuant to a review under section 30 or 31 of that Act, pursuant to an appeal under section 32 of that Act, ... under section 71(1C)(b) of that Act, under section 71B(9) of that Act, or under section 72A(9) of that Act. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations modify the list in section 3(2) so as to— add, alter or remove an entry, limit an entry so as to specify a certain aspect of what a court may do. An entry included in section 3(2) may relate to anything, at any stage in criminal proceedings— which can be made or imposed by a court with respect to a person, or to which a person can otherwise be made subject by a court, except something under which a person is to be detained in custody. A general or specific reference to a disposal mentioned in section 3(2) is, in relation to a requirement under section 1(1), to be construed as being to the relevant order or other measure so far as concerning— a person's whereabouts in some way (including being at, or not being at, a particular place), or a person's consumption, taking or ingesting of alcohol, drugs or other substances. For the avoidance of doubt, anything listed in section 3(2) is to be regarded as a disposal for the purposes of this Part (whether or not it is the final disposal of a case). When imposing any conditions of a sort mentioned in section 7(1) in connection with release of a person on licence, the Scottish Ministers may additionally require the person to submit to monitoring by means of an approved device. is to be monitored by a person designated under section 11(2)(a), and is complying with the specified aspects of the conditions, and The Scottish Ministers must— The terms of a requirement made under subsection (1) are to be stated in the licence on which the person is released (with the licence being as referred to in the enactment under which the person is released). In subsection (4)(a), the reference to the specified aspects is to the particular aspects specified by the Scottish Ministers when imposing the conditions. Where a recommendation of the Parole Board for Scotland is necessary before any conditions mentioned in a particular paragraph of section 7(1) can be imposed on a person, the Parole Board's recommendation that there should be a requirement under section 5(1) in the person's case is necessary before the requirement can be made in addition to the conditions. A requirement made under section 5(1) lasts for as long as the person is subject to the associated conditions, but the Scottish Ministers may vary or revoke the requirement in conjunction with the variation or revocation by them under an enactment of the associated conditions. These are the conditions referred to in section 5(1)— a curfew condition as provided for in section 12AA(1)(b) of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993 (which relates to release on licence under section 3AA of that Act), conditions under section 12(1) of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993 (on release on licence under Part 1 of that Act (where sentencing is on or after 1 October 1993)), conditions under section 22(6) of the Prisons (Scotland) Act 1989 (on release on licence regarding certain sentences (where sentencing is before 1 October 1993)), conditions relating to temporary release in accordance with rules made under section 39 of the Prisons (Scotland) Act 1989 (known as prison rules), conditions relating to release from imprisonment or detention which arise on the basis prescribed in regulations made by the Scottish Ministers. A general or specific reference to any conditions mentioned in subsection (1) is, in relation to a requirement under section 5(1), to be construed as being to the relevant conditions so far as concerning— An approved device, in relation to a requirement under— section 1(1), or section 5(1), is an electronic device of a type prescribed in regulations made by the Scottish Ministers. A type of device that may be prescribed in regulations under subsection (1) includes— a device for monitoring a person's whereabouts in some manner (including of being at, or not being at, a particular place), or a device for— detecting whether a person has consumed, taken or ingested alcohol, drugs or other substances, or measuring the level of alcohol, drugs or other substances consumed, taken or ingested by a person. Regulations under subsection (1) may include provision as to any apparatus to be linked to a device as well as prescribing the device itself. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision about— the use of an approved device in connection with a requirement made under— the use of information obtained through monitoring of a person by means of such a device for the purpose mentioned in section 1(4) or 5(4). Subsections (3) to (5) give examples of what regulations under subsection (1) may do. Regulations may set out how or when a device is to be— worn by a person subject to a requirement made under section 1(1) or 5(1), or used in some other way by a person subject to such a requirement. Regulations may provide for— circumstances in which a particular type of device is, or is not, to be used, what information may, or may not, be gathered— at particular times, in particular circumstances. Regulations may— allow or restrict the use or sharing of information obtained through monitoring, fix periods— during which such information may be retained, after which such information must be destroyed. The Scottish Ministers must make contractual or other arrangements to secure the monitoring of a person— by means of an approved device, and in connection with a requirement made under— section 5(1). The Scottish Ministers must keep the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service informed of the identity of whoever is eligible for designation by a court under section 11(1)(a) (including by reference to eligibility in all or some circumstances). Different arrangements may be made under subsection (1) for different purposes (including arrangements of temporary or local effect). When a requirement is made under section 1(1), the court must— designate a person to be responsible for monitoring the monitored person by means of an approved device for the purpose mentioned in section 1(4), notify the monitored person that a person has been designated under paragraph (a), send to the designated person— intimation of the fact of designation, the date on which monitoring of the monitored person is to begin, details of the requirement and the specified aspects of the associated disposal, and any further information that it considers appropriate. When a requirement is made under section 5(1), the Scottish Ministers must— designate a person to be responsible for monitoring the monitored person by means of an approved device for the purpose mentioned in section 5(4), details of the requirement and the specified aspects of the associated conditions, and any further information that they consider appropriate. The designated person's responsibility for monitoring the monitored person— is suspended if the disposal is or (as the case may be) the conditions are suspended, ends— when the disposal ceases or (as the case may be) the conditions cease to have effect, or if someone else is designated under subsection (1)(a) or (as the case may be) (2)(a) as a replacement. If the designated person can no longer discharge the person's responsibility for monitoring the monitored person— someone else must be designated under subsection (1)(a) or (as the case may be) (2)(a) as a replacement, and subsection (1)(b) and (c) or (as the case may be) (2)(b) and (c) applies again. See section 10(2) for who is eligible for designation by the court under subsection (1)(a). In subsections (1) to (4)— a reference to the designated person is to whoever is for the time being designated under subsection (1)(a) or (as the case may be) (2)(a), a reference to the monitored person is to the person subject to the requirement made under section 1(1) or (as the case may be) 5(1), a reference to the specified aspects of the disposal or the conditions in question has the same meaning as is given by section 1(7) or (as the case may be) 5(7). The obligations in subsections (2) and (3) are set out in relation to a requirement made under— The monitored person must obey instructions given by the designated person on how or when an approved device allocated to the monitored person is to be— worn, or used in some other way, so as to facilitate monitoring of the monitored person by means of the approved device for the purpose mentioned in section 1(4) or (as the case may be) 5(4). The monitored person must not— tamper with the approved device, or cause or permit someone else to tamper with the device, or intentionally damage or destroy the approved device, or cause or permit someone else so to damage or destroy the device. In subsection (2), the reference to the designated person is to whoever is for the time being designated under section 11(1)(a) or (as the case may be) (2)(a). In subsections (2) and (3)— the references to an approved device include any apparatus linked to the device as well as meaning the device itself, the references to the monitored person are to the person subject to the requirement made under section 1(1) or (as the case may be) 5(1). In the operation of a disposal mentioned in section 3(2)— an additional requirement made under section 1(1) is to be regarded as if part of the disposal, the disposal is therefore to be taken as breached with respect to the requirement if the person subject to it contravenes section 12(2) or (3). Any provisions of an enactment as to breach of the disposal are engaged by virtue of subsection (1) accordingly (so far as relevant in the case). No offence constituted by reason of breaching the disposal (where there is such an offence) can be committed by virtue of subsection (1). In the operation of any conditions mentioned in section 7(1)— an additional requirement made under section 5(1) is to be regarded as if part of the conditions, the conditions are therefore to be taken as breached with respect to the requirement if the person subject to it contravenes section 12(2) or (3).

After subsection (3) of section 6 there is inserted— Subsection (3ZB) applies where— an order listed in subsection (3ZC) is imposed on a person in respect of a conviction for an offence, after the expiry of the disclosure period applicable to the conviction in accordance with subsection (1) or (2) (“the original disclosure period”), a further sentence for the offence is imposed on the person in consequence of breaching the order, and by virtue of the further sentence, the disclosure period applicable to the conviction in accordance with subsection (2) (“the new disclosure period”) ends later than the original disclosure period. Despite the expiry of the original disclosure period, the person is not to be treated for the purposes of this Act as a protected person in respect of the conviction until the expiry of the new disclosure period (and accordingly the conviction is not to be treated as spent until that period has expired). The list is— an order for conditional discharge, The Scottish Ministers may by regulations modify the list in subsection (3ZC) by— amending an entry, removing an entry, adding an entry. Regulations under subsection (3ZD) are subject to the affirmative procedure. For subsection (4) of section 6 there is substituted— Where— during the disclosure period applicable to a conviction, the person convicted is convicted of a further offence, and the disclosure periods applicable to the two convictions under this section would end on different dates, the disclosure period which would end earlier is extended so as to end at the same time as the other disclosure period (but this rule is subject to subsections (4A) to (5B)). After subsection (4) of section 6 there is inserted— Subsection (4B) applies where— in relation to the conviction of a person (“the first conviction”) the court adjourns the case, or defers sentence, during the disclosure period applicable to the adjournment or deferral, the person is convicted of a further offence, a relevant sentence is imposed on the person in respect of the first conviction, and there is, by virtue of section 5J, no disclosure period applicable to that sentence. Section 4 does not operate so as to extend the disclosure period applicable to the first conviction. In subsection (4A)— references to adjournments and deferrals are to those matters as mentioned in section 5E(1), a “relevant sentence” is any sentence other than an adjournment or deferral (as mentioned in section 5E(1)) or, where applicable, a further such adjournment or deferral. For subsection (5) of section 6 there is substituted— A disclosure period is not extended in accordance with subsection (4) so as to end at the same time as another disclosure period if— the other disclosure period is applicable in accordance with section 5(2E) to an order— imposing on a person any disqualification, disability, prohibition, requirement or restriction, or which is otherwise intended to regulate behaviour, and that order is the only sentence imposed in respect of the conviction to which the other disclosure period is applicable. Subsection (5B) applies where— more than one sentence is imposed in respect of a conviction (whether or not in the same proceedings), none of the sentences is an excluded sentence, and one of the sentences is an order mentioned in subsection (5) in respect of which the disclosure period is applicable in accordance with section 5(2E). In determining whether the disclosure period applicable to another conviction is, in accordance with subsection (4), extended by virtue of the disclosure period applicable to the conviction mentioned in subsection (5A)(a), the disclosure period applicable to the order is to be disregarded. In subsection (6) of section 6— for the words “For the purposes of subsection (4)(a) above there shall be disregarded—” there is substituted “ In subsection (4)(a), the reference to a conviction for a further offence does not include— ”, for paragraph (b) there is substituted— any conviction by or before a criminal court in summary proceedings; in paragraph (c)— for the words “Great Britain” there is substituted “ Scotland ”, for the words “any part of Great Britain” there is substituted “ Scotland ”, for the words “that part of Great Britain” there is substituted “ Scotland ”.

After section 10 there is inserted— Any power exercisable by the Scottish Ministers to make an order under this Act includes power— to make different provision for different purposes, to make incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision. To the extent that the power to make an order under section 5(11) is exercisable by the Scottish Ministers, that power includes power exercisable by the Scottish Ministers to make consequential provision modifying any enactment (including this Act). The Scottish Ministers may make regulations for or in connection with the purpose mentioned in subsection (2). The purpose is allowing a person on whom a relevant sentence was imposed in respect of a conviction to apply (both)— to be treated as a protected person in respect of the conviction for the purposes of the 1974 Act, and for the conviction to be treated as spent for the purposes of the 1974 Act. A relevant sentence is— a sentence mentioned in section 5(1)(b) or (da) of the 1974 Act, or a sentence imposed by a court outwith Scotland which, by virtue of section 5(2F)(d) of the 1974 Act, falls to be treated as such a sentence. The regulations must contain provision— for— an application to be made to a specified reviewer, and the application to be determined by the specified reviewer, excluding someone who is, for whatever reason, subject to notification requirements under Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 from making an application, preventing an application from being made until the expiry of the appropriate period, and setting, or for ascertaining, the relevant date. In subsection (4)— in paragraph (c), “the appropriate period” is— in the case of an applicant who was 18 years of age or older on the date of the conviction to which the application relates, the term of the sentence imposed in respect of the conviction plus 6 years, in the case of an applicant who was under 18 years of age on the date of the conviction to which the application relates, the term of the sentence imposed in respect of the conviction plus 3 years, in paragraph (d), “the relevant date” is the date from which (both)— an applicant's conviction is to be treated as spent, and the applicant is to be treated as a protected person. In this section and section 34, the references to— a protected person, or a conviction being treated as spent, are to be construed in accordance with the 1974 Act.

In relation to a conviction that is, by virtue of the operation of regulations made under section 33, to be treated as a spent conviction, provision which may be made about the legal effect of determinations extends to (any of)— provision that the conviction is to be, or is not to be, treated as a protected conviction within the meaning of— section 126ZA of the Police Act 1997, section 57A of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007, or article 2A of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exclusions and Exceptions) (Scotland) Order 2013 (S.S.I. 2013/50), provision as to the time from which the conviction is to be, or before which the conviction is not to be, treated as a protected conviction, and provision that the conviction is to be treated as if it were a conviction for an offence of a particular kind prescribed in the provision. In this section and section 33, “the specified reviewer” means whoever is specified as such in regulations made under section 33. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations modify section 33(5)(a) by amending— an age stated in sub-paragraph (i) or (ii), a number of years stated in sub-paragraph (i) or (ii). Regulations under section 33 may— modify any enactment (including the 1974 Act), make different provision for different purposes. Regulations under sections 33 and 35 are subject to the affirmative procedure.

Any amendment of the 1974 Act by a provision of this Part referring to a conviction applies in relation to a conviction before the date on which the provision comes into force (as well as in relation to a conviction on or after that date).

The 1974 Act applies as if the amendments mentioned in subsections (1) and (2) had always had effect (but see the remaining provisions of this section). Subsection (6) applies where, by virtue of subsection (4), a person— would have been treated as a rehabilitated person for the purposes of the 1974 Act, and would have been so treated by virtue of an amendment of that Act made by a provision mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) before the date on which the provision comes into force. The person is, subject to any order made under section 4(4) or 7(4) of the 1974 Act, to be treated on and after that date as a protected person (within the meaning of that Act as amended by this Act). Subsection (8) applies where, by virtue of subsection (4), a conviction— would have been treated as spent for the purposes of the 1974 Act, and The conviction is, subject to any order made under section 4(4) or 7(4), to be treated on and after that date as a spent conviction.
