Criminalising Extreme Porn: Dangerous Pictures Bill: The UK Government have introduced a Criminal Justice & Immigration Bill 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 bill is now detailed online with explanatory notes. The Bill was debated in Parliament on 8th October 2007. It passed through committee and then the 3rd reading unamended on 9th January 2008. It is now to being debated in Lords Committee with report debates on 27th March, 2nd, 21st & 23rd April with 3rd Reading 30th April.
