It explores the development of responses to youth offending, the role of third sector agencies in prevention and rehabilitation, and policy and legislative implications. The presentation aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the youth justice system and the importance of reflective practices.

Introduction
• It is very important for people to communicate the correct understanding of communication skills
and making people understand the basic problem of younger people in understanding all such
outcomes in the organisation. One has to understand the basic needs which are required in
organisation. They shall portray the conclusive results and put up the correct understanding of such
conclusive results.

Discuss the youth justice system.
Juvenile delinquency has become a major issue in modern society, causing our society to revisit the
foundations of our current juvenile justice, system, and thereby search for a new understanding of the
motivations behind juvenile crime. Today's juvenile court system was built on the assumption that
juvenile offenders needed to be rehabilitated, helped and assisted in order to escape the life of crime
that often encircles the inner city streets. Juvenile offenders were conceptualized as a special case of
criminals for any of the following reasons, or more creatively put together by juvenile lawyers, a victim
of all these societal

• If placed with the adult criminal population they would have chance of developing into proactive members of society. Based on
these assumptions, the juvenile justice system has focused on the
care and rehabilitation of the child rather than on punishment and
incapacitation. However, a system which treats criminal as victims looses
much of its ability to deter crime. Consequently the juvenile justice
system has lost much of its impact, and perceived effectiveness. The
changing nature of juvenile crime has also placed challenges in front of a
system which is struggling to redefine its role in the criminal justice

• Throughout the course of the youth justice system in the British isles, there have been incidences when it seemed
that the rehabilitation of the offender wasn’t of importance but rather their punishment. It has taken a very long
time for the YJ system to reach its current level today, and this has taken roughly 200 years to establish. This has
taken so long because there never used to be a justice system that dealt specifically with young offenders. In this
assignment I am going to be looking at the measures of dealing with young offenders that were used in the past and
how these have evolved over time. I am also going to be looking at different acts of legislation that were passed to
help institute the YJ system whilst also looking at the systems in other countries.

INVESTIGATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESPONSES TO YOUTH OFFENDING
• Principles and aims for the review 6. It is right that children who break the law are dealt with differently
to adults. Children act impulsively and often do not appreciate the consequences of their actions; they are
not emotionally developed and may struggle to communicate effectively. This is particularly true of so
many of the children who offend, who often have learning or speech and communication problems. But
children also have great strengths on which to build and are capable of rapid and extraordinary change.
There needs to be a shift in the way society, including central and local government, thinks about youth
justice so that we see the child first and the offender second. Offending should not mean forfeiting the
right to childhood. If children who offend are to become successful and law-abiding adults, the focus
must be on improving their welfare, health and education – their life prospects – rather than simply
imposing punishment.

ROLE OF THIRD SECTOR AGENCIES IN THE PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION
OF YOUTH OFFENDING.
• Current practice in the juvenile justice system
• Juvenile justice is a highly varied process that is shaped by law and driven by local practice. Youth
coming into the justice system—usually after an arrest by law enforcement—are screened and
assessed by various organizations and individuals. The charges against them are reviewed for legal
sufficiency, and a formalized court process may be used to establish their culpable commission of a
criminal act. If the case merits some type of intervention, other actors in the justice system attempt to
match the youth with an appropriate and cost-effective program or sanction. The availability and
suitability of an intervention often influences the outcome of earlier decisions.

POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC
SERVICES HAVING A MULTI-AGENCY APPROACH
• Youth justice in england1 is changing. Recent developments across the spectrum of law, policy,
organization, delivery and outcomes suggest a different picture than when (golden 2010) was
writing despairingly of the ‘sleep of criminological reason’. From that viewing point, subsequent
changes appear more ambiguous. Within this one national jurisdiction, we have since witnessed a
‘rehabilitation revolution’; a legislative challenge to the idea of a strict tariff of disposals; the
impact of austerity; significant changes in service structures and responsibilities; substantial
revisions of operational guidance and targets; and, of course, a major shift in the pattern of
outcomes in youth justice.

• With a reduction of over two-thirds in the number of young people in custody from 2008 to 2015
(ministry of justice/youth justice board, 2016), and substantially increased use of a range of
diversionary options at the ‘front end’ of the system, a clear trend seems to have been established
(bateman, 2014, 2017). But, before celebrating a new ‘age of diversion’ we must adopt a note of
caution in view of the substantial and persistent over-representation of black and minority ethnic
young people in custody (pitts, 2015: 39), the inadequacy of much of the secure estate, the
persistence of dehumanizing custodial conditions and the continuing evidence that young people
‘in the system’ experience oppression and social exclusion

Conclusion
• In this report several refection and ideologies of understanding the basic concepts well shall be
created in understanding the computed the proper the current data and analysis. The basic
understanding of such outcomes are related to all such understandings. There are many resources
which have to be understood in nature.
