"The Scottish Executive's Minister for Justice introduced the Protection of Children and Prevention of Sexual Offences (Scotland) Bill in the Parliament on 29 October 2004. The Parliament's Justice 1 Committee has been designated as lead committee for the purpose of considering the Bill. The Policy Memorandum published with the Bill states that the primary objective of the Bill is to better protect children from sexual abuse. The Bill seeks to achieve this through the creation of: (a) a new criminal offence aimed at preventing an adult sexually abusing a child following some earlier communication between the two; and (b) a new type of civil preventative order, the Risk of Sexual Harm Order, which would allow a court to prohibit an adult from doing certain things set out in the order. The Bill also seeks to better protect both children and adults from sex offenders through the extension of an existing type of civil preventative order, the Sexual Offences Prevention Order. This briefing considers the background to and provisions of the Bill. It also looks at some of the main issues highlighted in response to a consultation exercise carried out by the Executive prior to the introduction of the Bill."
