P3 Summarise security regulations and legislation.
1. Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001-
The UK government which is a national government is their source of
law and regulation. The main purpose of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and
Security Act 2001 is to ensure good security of dangerous substances
that may be targeted or used by terrorists. The purpose of the Anti-
terrorism Crime and Security Act is to help ensure that governments
have, in the light of terrorist attacks, the necessary powers to counter
the threat to the UK. This act is intended to cut off terrorist funding,
enable government departments and agencies to collect and share
information required in fighting terrorism, making immigration
procedures more relevant, ensuring the security of the nuclear and
aviation industries, to improve the security of dangerous substances
that may be used by terrorists on the aircraft, to extend police powers
wherein police are allowed to search for identifying marks and take
fingerprints of suspects for identification purposes and also take
photographs of suspects and demand where necessary to demand the
removal of facial coverings or face paint in order to take a positive
photograph of suspects. This act also helps to meet EU obligations and
counter bribery and corruption and to update parts of the UK’s anti-
terrorist powers. There are 14 parts to Anti-terrorism, Crime and
Security Act 2001which are identified as:
i. Terrorist property- Wherein terrorists are restricted from
gaining access to their money. There are investigative and

if their action constitute a threat to the economy, life, or
property of a national or resident of the UK.
iii. Disclosure of information – This act allows public authorities
to disclose information generally subject to restriction for
law enforcement purposes and to the intelligence services.

process for suspected terrorists. It also allows for the
retention for 10 years of fingerprints taken in asylum and
certain immigration cases.
v. Race and religion- This act covers religious hostility and
increases the maximum penalty for such offences for 2-7
years of imprisonment. The Public Order Act 1986 was
amended on racial hatred to include cases where the hatred
is directed against groups abroad.
vi. Weapons of pathogens and toxins – This act strengthens
current legislation controlling chemical, nuclear, and
biological weapons.
vii. Nuclear security- Managers of laboratories and premises
holding stocks of specified disease- causing microorganisms
and toxins to notify their holdings and to furnish the police
with details of people with access to the dangerous
substances.
viii. Aviation security – This act improves enforcement of
aviation security requirements and the ability of the police
to deal with potentially dangerous situations at airports and
onboard aircraft. It includes provisions in respect of the
removal of Unauthorised Persons from Airport Restricted
Zones and from Aircraft.
ix. Police powers- In a small group of cases detainees can fail
to co-operate with police identification procedures for
example fingerprinting, this act contains powers to give the
police and customs services the authority to demand the
removal of any item which they believe is being worn wholly
