Michael Howard was announcing new Home Office guidance on powers for courts to force offenders to pay compensation to their victims. These include a rise in the maximum compensation which can be ordered from £2,000 to £5,000. Compensation showed victims that their interests were being taken into account, Mr Howard said.  Next News Home News Main News CityHeads

The new tariffs for compensation orders range from sums of £50 for a graze to £5,000 for a facial scar. The new guidance for court powers also include the right to deduct compensation order payments from social security benefits.
