Ignoring a dispersal order is a criminal offence punishable by fines or imprisonment. This corresponds to which key feature?

• A. Exclusion Period
• B. Failure to Comply
• C. Removal from an Area
• D. Dispersal Powers

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that not following a dispersal order itself is an offence. A dispersal order gives police the power to require people to leave an area or stay away for a period. If someone ignores that order, they commit a criminal offence and can be fined or imprisoned. That’s why the correct concept is the act of not complying with the order. The other features describe parts of how the order works—how long the exclusion lasts (Exclusion Period), the action of removing someone from the area (Removal from an Area), and the authority that enables the order (Dispersal Powers)—but they don’t capture the consequence of breaking it, which is the criminal offence of failing to comply.
