Crime and disorder act 1998 During the 1997 election campaign, Tony Blair made a firm commitment to introduce a crime and disorder bill targeting crime and anti-social behaviour within his first year in office.

Fresh legislation restricting freedom of speech, writing and assembly was passed from 1792 to 1801, to reinforce these new laws the yeomanry were called in to reinforce these new laws. In 1792, two royal proclamations were issued against seditious writing such as the rights of man written by Tom Paine.

There has been a variety of constitutional reforms set up since Blaire’s election into government in 1997, ranging from matters concerning Westminster to legislature, these reforms however have been of mixed impact.
