|
|
Act as a way of dealing with offences committed by young people aged 10 to 17,
|
|
provided that the offence is not so serious that it needs to go to court.</i></p><hr/><p>It was introduced in an effort to encourage young people to
|
|
take responsibility for their criminal actions and to keep them from committing
|
|
further offences and it replaced the old system of police cautions for young people.
|
|
</p><p>A young person arrested for a further offence within two years
|
|
will virtually always go to court. </p><p>The Final Warning:</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">aims to prevent re-offending by ensuring that the young person is made aware
|
|
of the consequences and impact of criminal activity.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">aims to take into account the wishes and feelings of victims of crime.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">aims to find out the reason for the offence, and do something about the things
|
|
in the young person's life, which create a risk of further offending.</li>
|
|
</ul><p>Youth Offending Teams have been set up in every local authority
|
|
to work with the Police Officers on Final Warnings to ensure that these aims are
|
|
met and to prevent offending by children and young people.</p><p>The Final warning is given on the understanding that the Youth
|
|
Offending Team will work with the young offender and their parent/guardian to
|
|
complete a short programme of intervention.</p><p>This will begin with an appointment for the young person and
|
|
parent/guardian to see someone from the Youth Offending Team. This might be at
|
|
the YOT office, the family home or at a central location. This appointment will
|
|
either be made at the Police station immediately after the Final Warning has been
|
|
given, or the Youth Offending Team will contact the family within <span class="gen">enter amount</span> working days
|
|
of the Warning being given.</p><p>It is very important that this appointment is kept! If a problem
|
|
should arise to prevent you from keeping the appointment, please contact the YOT
|
|
to re-arrange it.</p><h2>What the programme of work might involve</h2><p>
|
|
<strong>Work on offending:</strong> Brief sessions of Offence and Victim
|
|
focused work will be carried out at the YOT office by a member of the team. This
|
|
is to ensure that the young person fully understands the purpose of the Final Warning.</p><p>
|
|
<strong>Reparation</strong>: may involve the offender meeting his/her
|
|
victim in person to make a verbal apology. Alternatively, the young person may be
|
|
required to write a letter of apology and/or take part in several hours of practical
|
|
activity, which benefit the victims of crime, or the community as a whole.</p><h2>What do parents/guardians have to do?</h2><p>Parents/Guardians should:</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">Attend all meetings with the young person.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Encourage the young person to appreciate fully the consequences
|
|
of their offending behaviour.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Ensure that the young person successfully completes the activities
|
|
assigned to him/her.</li>
