💨 Abstract

The Crime and Policing Bill is a significant piece of legislation addressing various aspects of justice in the UK. It aims to tackle knife crime, violence against women and girls, and grooming gangs. Key measures include new crimes and police powers, a 'Romeo and Juliet Law,' and decriminalizing abortion in England and Wales under certain conditions. The bill also introduces offenses targeting organized crime exploitation, protects retail workers, and restricts protests outside public office holders' homes.
