This Guide provides a detailed and practical commentary on the Serious Crime Act 2007. It examines the probable impact on the law, practice and procedure, with full case referencing to illuminate probable interpretation. The Act establishes the serious crime prevention order - also called a 'super-asbo' - which will impose restrictions on individuals and organizations convicted or suspected of being involved in serious crimes (such as people and arms trafficking, fraud, drug dealing and blackmail). It also introduces new offences of intentionally encouraging or assisting a criminal act; the strengthening of the recovery of criminal assets; and abolishes the Assets Recovery Agency - transferring its responsibilities to the Serious Organized Crime Agency
