The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (c. 38) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom Government published a paper "Drinking Responsibly - The Government's Proposals" in 2005 setting out their proposals for introducing Drinking Banning Orders (DBOs). Schedule 5 of the act repeals the Licensed Premises (Exclusion of Certain Persons) Act 1980 because the exclusions from certain premises under the provisions of that act are made redundant.
The 66 sections and 5 Schedules of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 cover a wide range of measures.
