Violent Offender Orders ("VOO")
A Violent Offender Order ("VOO") is a stand alone civil order which is intended to protect the public from "qualifying offenders" who pose a current risk of "serious violent harm". It is made on complaint by a chief officer of police, and is not part of any sentence following a criminal conviction. Breaching the terms of a VOO, or failing to comply with the notification requirements of a VOO constitutes a criminal offence punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment.
If you find yourself subject to a VOO, or on the receiving end of an application for a VOO, it is vital that you get an expert defence team from the outset. Tuckers Solicitors is one of the few practices specialising in this type of work.
