Sussex police and crime commissioner Katy Bourne was shocked to hear that boys as young as 11 were sharing indecent images.

At a performance and accountability meeting with senior Sussex Police officers, she was equally shocked to hear from Assistant Chief Constable Rosie Ross that 13 to 16-year-old white boys were a concern when it came to “contact” sexual offences.

After the entities, the Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has also adopted the Law on the Registry of Persons Convicted of Sexual Abuse of Children. The new regulation brings stricter control of perpetrators and is an important step in the protection of minors.

Brcko has harmonized its legislation with the rest of BiH and is introducing a registry of persons who have been finally convicted of sexual abuse and exploitation of children. The law clearly defines which acts enter the registry, and the emphasis is on the protection of children as a particularly vulnerable category. The regulation prohibits any contact of convicted persons with minors.
