Confiscation orders are the principal means by which the government carries out its policy to deprive criminals of the proceeds of their crimes. They are used with the intention to disrupt and deter criminality. The prosecution can ask the Crown Court to make a confiscation order after a defendant has been convicted of a criminal offence. A confiscation order requires the defendant to pay back the benefits they've obtained through crime.
