Cutting Youth Crime. Changing Young Lives.
“This White Paper represents once-in-a-generation reform of youth justice in England and Wales. It sets a new direction: modernising the system for today’s risks, intervening earlier, reducing unnecessary use of custody, all with a relentless focus on protecting the public.
“Our goal is clear: fewer children being drawn into crime, fewer victims, and safer streets. We are driven by a clear principle: believing in a child’s capacity to turn their life around. But this should never mean ignoring harmful behaviour or failing to act when risks emerge.”
The Rt Hon. David Lammy MP Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice
