    thanks

    Incitement to commit an offence is contrary to common law.

    There are a couple of statutory incitement offences (e.g. incitement to join an unlawful organisation under s. 3 Criminal Law Act 1976, soliciting murder contrary to s. 4 Offences Against the Person Act 1861)

    Yeah it's a common law offence. The Law Reform Commission published its report on Inchoate Offences a couple of weeks ago and recommended that its made a statutory offence but for the moment it's common law.

    If you need more info on incitement the report is quite good and is on the LRC website
