Outline Approach

The Youth Justice Board recommends that programmes aimed at persistent young offenders should have two key elements:

  • Intensive supervision, containing:

    •    A strong focus on education & training

    •    A restorative element

    •    Intensive courses designed to change offending behaviour

    •    Training and interpersonal skills

    •    Family support

  • Community surveillance, designed to ensure:

    • that the young people themselves are aware that their behaviour is being monitored and that they cannot get away with the offending as they did in the past; and

    • that the community has the reassurance or knowing that they are closely being monitored.
