Youth offending
Latest: New consultation on youth crime prevention. If you are involved in any way with young people who are at risk of criminal or anti-social behaviour, your comments can help to develop our strategy. Deadline for comments: 27 June 2008.
In this section you can find out about what we are doing to prevent youth offending, services available to parents and carers, getting help if you are a victim of youth crime, details about the Youth Offending Team and how to get involved in helping young offenders.
You can also read an overview of how the youth justice system works, what is meant by terms such as reprimand, a court order, reparation and restorative justice, and what happens at Youth Court.
