Incitement to Violence
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he plans to amend the law relating to incitement to violence.
- Answer
-
Existing law already makes it an offence to incite murder or other crimes of violence. However, we are strengthening our law by creating a new offence of encouragement to terrorism. This will cover both direct and indirect encouragement and the Government believes it should also encompass glorification of terrorism.
