Acid Attacks

As far as I know, in the UK acid attacks are mostly a male on male, gang related crime. They are intended to mark the victim for life in the same way that glassing or slashing was used in the past.

Globally, acid attacks are mostly used against women who refuse a man.
I personally feel that in the UK, it should be a separate offence. Male violence is out of control and needs special measures to tackle it; more laws arent doing anything to help.

''Anyone caught twice possessing corrosive substances without a good reason will automatically face a prison sentence of at least six months''

''The consultation document says it is not intended that “corrosive substance” will be defined in legislation, as the offence “must be flexible enough to cover a range of possible situations''

I can see 2 potential problems;

1. What is a corrosive substance, how is it defined and if it is that dangerous why isnt it a controlled substance?
2. What is 'a good reason' in law?

That sounds like Persons Unknown to me. Potentially very dangerous, on the level of getting shot in the tube while carrying a bag of tools.
Various crimes are already illegal and men still do them. Its the underlying attitude of macho, bullying entitlement that needs dealing with.
