No it is not banned.

You owe a duty of care to anyone entering your land (even intruders)
and if they are injured then they may have a claim against you. Their
business and intentions on your land, the location of the wire, and
any warning signs would all be considered. Whether an intruder cuts
themselves on razor wire, barbed wire, a rose bush or a splinter from
the fence is all the same.

In any case, your house insurance would normally cover you from any
such civil claims.

Put the wire up, and fix some warning signs in a prominent place.
