The British government is weighing a plan that would require civil servants
– including social workers and doctors – to report people deemed likely
to commit acts of violence in the interest of stopping crimes before they
are committed, according to a leaked official document.

The Times of London reports that the British Home Office's internal
document on "multi-agency information sharing" – which the newspaper
received from a senior British official – would allow government agencies
better access to information on potential threats.
