Community Protection Notices: should crying be criminal?
Community Protection Notices (CPN) were introduced under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. They enable the police and local authorities to require someone to do (or stop doing) a particular act in order to put an end to conduct which they believe, on reasonable grounds, is:
* Negatively affecting the quality of life of local people;
* Continuing or persistent;
* Unreasonable.
