victims to obtain appropriate specialist support (for example, via Independent Domestic Abuse Advisors and Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworkers) and to access relevant risk assessments The court should adopt a cautious approach where a course of conduct is based upon a few incidents which are widely spaced in time. The issue for the court is whether the incidents, however many they may be, can properly be said to be so connected in type and in context as to justify the conclusion that they can amount to a course of conduct: Pratt v DPP [2001] EWHC Admin 483. it is “capable of discharging a missile so that the missile has, on being discharged from the muzzle of the weapon, kinetic energy in excess, in the case of an air pistol of 6ft lbs or, in the case of an air weapon other than an air pistol, 12ft lbs” (unless it is designed for use only when submerged in water); or Section 22(2): it is an offence for a person under the age of fourteen to have possession of any firearm or ammunition to which section 1 applies, subject to certain exceptions.

Robbery where at some time during the commission of the offence, the offender had in his or her possession a firearm or an imitation firearm. There may be an overlap between an offence contrary to section 1 or 2 and section 19 Firearms Act where a person with a firearm or loaded shotgun for which no certificate is held is in a public place.

For this purpose, “fraudulent” means dishonest conduct “deliberately intended to evade the prohibition or restriction” (per Lord Lane CJ in Attorney General’s Reference (No. 1 of 1981) [1982] Q.B. 848). In the case of a genuine freeze response, this is not a conscious decision; our primitive brain takes over and immobilises us. In doing so, it’s hoped our predator will lose interest and wander off.
