Bill making assaulting a shopworker an offence enters parliament
The Crime and Policing Bill, which will also introduce harsher penalties for shoplifting of items under £200, will be put before parliament on Tuesday.
It contains a large number of measures set out in the Labour manifesto. This includes the “Respect Orders”, which are reminiscent of the Anti-social Behaviour Orders introduced by the last Labour government before being abolished in 2014.
