This is so true. Too much of the time children are given pressures from one sort to another and are told to deal with them from people or just life in general without the proper tools (social, financial, or otherwise) or environments as a means of coping or being guided. Little be it not that these people, our children, who we once were should be shackled into a system that only provides lip service in a society where targets and sttistics have clouded our view of what is really happening and obscured our common sense, and any institution be it humanistic or utility has become little more than just another profit driven market for business. Do something good. Genuinely. |

Having worked in child protection, soc services, secure units in the uk and juvenile detention in the US - mIT doesnt work as a rehabilitator - it teqches further criminal attitude, damages children and leaves them emotionally and psychologically scarred |

Everyone's scratching their heads wondering why kids are joining gangs and stabbing other kids and the general consensus amongst those daily mail readers is to send them off to National Service or war or some other violent regime. No-one's really looking at the cause and giving these kids / adults anything worth caring or working towards. We're not talking about people with stable secure lives here - we're talking about those who've had enough voilence, illness and instability in their lives already. Let them work towards something that gives back to the community and gives them a sense of worth towards themselves and to the others they share this world with. The statistics back this up so please invest in the cause and not just punish the outcome and wonder why it happened! |

i totally agree with this idea. As its quite easy to see that prison is not helping to get young people back on track. So alternatives need to be looked into. I am a psychology student and strongly beleive that just incarinerating people is not going to work. We need to find out the reasons why they are offending and tackle these so they can not go back and reoffend and others can't follow them. |

non-violent offender may be best served undertaking community based activities to comprehend and understand the impact of their crime on others. |

I think in selling the tough on crime agenda the message to the youth has been that we are tough on the youth. The message should be that the public do not want a throw away the key approach to non-violent young offenders. This only encourages the general feeling that there is little patience or empathy with the youth and that they can only get support from gangs and the criminal underworld replacing family and good citizenship. |

Custody alternatives should involve teaching these children employable skills, helping them build a sense of self-worth and giving them a better range of options for the future. |

Young people need to know that they are part of the solution not the problem - to be involved in restorative processes. We as adults need to make that possible. |

I am horrified at the way this government is dealing with minor offences. Something urgently needs to be done to help young people, not to give them automatic criminal records. |
