The United Kingdom on Sunday said criminals would be barred from pubs, concerts, and sports matches under new sentencing powers as part of its Plan for Change.
It said that judges would be able to curtail offenders’ freedoms with driving limits, travel bans, and restriction zones confining them into specific areas.
The changes are expected to toughen up community punishments to deter reoffending and force offenders back on the straight and narrow.
It said that as part of the government’s work to do everything in its power to keep Britain safe, offenders coming out of prison and supervised by the Probation Service would also face similar restrictions and an expanded mandatory drug testing regime.
