The Christian Institute spearheaded the Reform Section 5 campaign to get
the word ‘insulting’ removed from Section 5 of the Public Order Act, as
part of the Crime and Courts Bill.
After a lengthy campaign, which included support from celebrities
including Rowan Atkinson and Stephen Fry, the then Home Secretary Theresa
May eventually agreed. The change is now incorporated in Section 57 of the
Crime and Courts Act 2013 which came into force on 1 February 2014.
