What is Violent Disorder?
Violent Disorder occurs when three or more people present together and use or threaten violence. Their conduct, when considered collectively, must be severe enough to cause a person of reasonable firmness to fear for their personal safety.

This offence typically arises in situations involving:

• Large-scale disorder or violence

• Use of weapons or missiles

• Serious disruption to public life

Court and Sentencing Information

• These cases are usually handled in the Crown Court.

• Defendants with no prior convictions may still face an immediate custodial sentence.

• Maximum penalty: 5 years’ imprisonment.
