Youth Justice?  

Some questions to consider

Is prison the right place for young people under the age of 18?

When children in the UK as young as 10 years of age are sentenced and given criminal records do they have a future?

When children are given a criminal record for trivial crimes such as bullying is this justice?

Is there no other intervention than imprisonment for children?

Are the circumstances in the child's upbringing and root causes to their behaviour taken into consideration when sentencing them?
