Police raid houseCriminalising Extreme Porn: Dangerous Pictures Act: The UK Government has passed a Criminal Justice & Immigration Act to criminalise the possession of adult, staged, consensual violent pornography with draconian penalties of up to 3 years in prison.

Support for proposed law? No Yes
Individuals 223 90
Organisations 18 53
Totals 241 143

Public Consultation: A biased Government consultation was initiated but the unsupportive responses were sidestepped. The Government then recruited a team of feminists to try and bolster their case with a discredited Rapid Evidence Assessment.

Current Status: The Dangerous Pictures chapter of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act came into force on January 26th 2009. Government guidance [pdf] has been published to further explain what images are considered dangerous to possess. See also CPS Extreme Pornography: Legal Guidance

Scotland: The Scottish government published its extreme pornography proposal in Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Bill [pdf]  in March 2009. Responses to the proposals were published by the Scottish Parliament in May 2009.
