CashBack for Communities

As an amendment to motion S4M-10278 in the name of Kenny MacAskill (CashBack for Communities), leave out from ", and believes" to end and insert "; believes that much more analysis could be done to identify and follow up on crimes in which the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 could be implemented in order to maximise the amount of money seized; considers that Police Scotland and the Crown Office must always receive the core funding necessary for them to discharge their responsibilities, but believes that there may be merit in looking at the option of enabling Police Scotland and the Crown Office to make specific bids for money obtained from the proceeds of crime for identified projects while ensuring that funds obtained from the proceeds of crime continue to be focused on projects in communities across Scotland as well as those particularly affected by crime and antisocial behaviour and, in so doing, continue to tackle breaking the cycle of youth offending in communities.”
