Part of Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 5:00 pm on 16 October 2007.
Can I ask you about the age of criminal responsibility? At 10, it is very low in this country. How does it impact the situation? The Bill contains youth rehabilitation orders. How do the two interact as far as what you have to do, particularly the magistrates’ side of things? For a younger age, are there certain aspects of the YROs that you would use, as opposed to others for a later age?
