Public spaces protection orders – an “attack of vagueness”

The purpose of this paper is to highlight legislative and procedural problems with the implementation across England and Wales of Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs).

Through a review of current and planned PSPOs across England and Wales.

A patchwork quilt of unenforceable and vague legislation will only cause enforcement agencies to become confused and for potentially innocent people to be convicted.

The author does not believe any similar papers have been published.
