Into the Breach - the enforcement of statutory orders in the youth justice system
Internal Publication
May 2011
Commissioned from NCB, this report is the first piece of primary research into children who breach. It features an analysis of existing data and learning from qualitative research with children, practitioners and magistrates. Some of the findings chime with common sense, but some are surprising – in some areas, for instance, every single ASBO given to 10 and 11 year olds was breached.
With one in every eight children in custody last year imprisoned for breaching the terms of a statutory order, this timely report proposes changes to legislation, guidance and practice.
