We are not trying to force treatment on young people. It is quite the contrary. We aim to encourage them to undertake treatment when it is clear that their offending is linked directly to their need to receive treatment. It is essentially a voluntary involvement to ensure that young people are encouraged to undertake the treatment, not compulsory treatment.
