Title: Review of 10 - 13 Year Olds Endtering Custody

Summary: This report presents the findings from a review of 10–13 year olds who were admitted to custody in the Juvenile Justice Centre between January 2003 and August 2004. It focuses on the service provision and systems/mechanisms which may have influenced or impacted on the identified children and their families/carers. The Criminal Justice Review, reporting in March 2000, stated that 10-13 year old children “should not be drawn into the juvenile custodial system and that the presumption should be that they will be diverted away from prosecution unless they are persistent, serious or violent offenders… We recommend that children aged 10-13 inclusive who are found guilty of criminal offences should not be held in juvenile justice centres, and that their accommodation needs should be provided by the care system.”
