...Pre-court measure There are 2 pre-court measures that are given to young people before they get taken to court, they want to help give the youths a chance to change their ways. The 2 measures are Reprimand and a Final warning. A reprimand is a verbal warning given to the youth by a police officer. The child may then be sent off to a youth offending team to complete voluntary work also known as community service, this will help to teach the youth a lesson not to punish them. A final warning is given to a child who admits that they are wrong in the offence they have performed. The child must then be assessed by a series of activities to help see the causes of their offending. Anti-social measures ASBO’s (anti-social behaviour orders) and ABA’s (Acceptable behaviour agreements) are given out to help prevent anti-social behaviour from happening. An ASBO helps within the act of preventing an individual from committing the offence again, it can also stop the youth from being allowed to enter certain areas to help protect the community. An ASBO can be given to any child aged 10 years and over, its intention is not to punish the individual but it must be put in place to let them know of their wrong doings. An ABA is a written agreement which states that the person must agree to not act in a certain manner that will be classed as anti-social behaviour. It is an alternative to an ASBO and is put in place when the person issuing the ABA feels as if an ASBO isn’t suitable for the situation...

ASBOs impose restrictions or conditions on someone, such as: * Retracing access to residential area * Not committing the same behaviour again * Not associating with certain people | Graffiti, noise pollution, littering | Community sentences | Which often require the offender to give certain number of hours to serving the community. This could be removing graffiti or helping landscape waste. | Damaging property, benefit fraud | Custodial sentences | This means spending a period of time in prison. | Hacking, ASBO | Restorative justice | This gives victims the chance to tell offenders the real impact of their crime to get answers to their questions and receive an apology.

...Crime and Disorder Legislation In The UK Crime and Disorder Act The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 created 376 crime and disorder reduction partnerships in England and Wales. This legislation means that local authorities, police and other agencies work in organisation to develop and implement strategies to decrease crime and disorder. The partnerships carry out and check of crime and disorder every three years and publish a strategy for dealing with the problems found. The purpose was that there strategies would reflect local needs and priorities, which means different partnerships nearby the state could be tacking different things. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 shields such areas as anti-social behaviour, sex offences, and aggravated offence.

...exploring the build up to the legislations that underpins the Youth Justice System which is the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. I will also discuss the purpose and functions of Youth Justice System and how my role contributes to their declared objectives. Finally I will conclude by indicating the effectiveness of the Youth Justice System. Discussion In 1996 a report was published by the Audit Commission titled Misspent Youth: Young People and Crime. An investigation was performed as there were concerns about the way the youth justice system was operating; the system was found to be “Inefficient” and “ineffective” in addressing youth crime. To create a solution to the recognised problems brought to light from Misspent Youth, a White Paper titled No More Excuses was proposed in 1997. Following the recommendations submitted by No more Excuses, this paper provided the groundwork for the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 Crime and Disorder Act 1998 stipulated that ‘It shall be the principle aim of the youth justice system to prevent offending by children and young persons’ Section 37(1). The act brought about a number of provisions, such as creation of the Youth justice Board (YJB). The YJB was established to observe and supervise the Youth Justice System for England and Wales, to focus on prevention of offending and reoffending for adolescents and to recognise and commission prosperous evidenced based research in effective practice. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 gave a mandate...

...Analyse the impact of two pieces of crime and disorder legislation (M1) Introduction: In my assignment I am going to analyse the impact of two pieces of crime and disorder legislation. In order to analyse this I am going to use a case study. The case study that I chose is about a robbery that happened at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit. There were 6 suspects involved in the robbery which made a hole through the walls to access the vault. The Metropolitan Police said that they received an alarm but apparently the police didn’t respond to it. The robbery ended up with 72 boxes being opened. The Police made a mistake in this case when they received the alarm signal and they didn’t treat it as is supposed to be which is to send a patrol car to the area to make sure nothing happened and everything is under control. In my opinion if the police would took the alarm serious and they sent a car there to patrol and see if something is wrong they would prevent this of happening and also their reputation wouldn’t be affected. There could be a reason for their mistake such as a human mistake but having in fact that they are the ones that protects and serve the public such mistakes shouldn’t be made. The consequences of the police mistake in this case had a great impact on the public because they think that the police service is not as efficient as it supposed to be. Also the people that boxes got robbed are going to complain because they are paying taxes to the council in order for the police...

...Crime and Disorder Legislation Crime and disorder act 1998: Abolishes the presumption of "doli incapax", the rule that a child aged 10 to 13 is presumed to be unable to form the necessary criminal intent. Creates the anti-social behaviour order, designed to prohibit individuals from indulging in specific activities that are deemed to be anti-social. Specifies that the only criteria a magistrate must use in deciding to impose an asbo is that the individual has behaved in a manner "that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress". Creates two new schemes for dealing with youth crime: child safety orders, which apply to children under the age of 10, and parenting orders, which are made against the parents of a child who has been given an anti-social behaviour order. Creates sex offender orders, which bar offenders from activities and areas frequented by children. Abolishes the death penalty for treason or piracy. Introduces separate offences for crimes that were aggravated by the victim's race or presumed race. Obliges local authorities, the police and other local bodies to draw up a crime and disorder strategy covering their area. Creates a statutory duty on those working in the youth justice system to observe a principal aim of preventing offending by children and young people.

...Is it possible to get away with murder? Or any crime? If you plead defense of insanity you might. Many people over the years have pled that they aren’t criminally responsible or had an episode when they were committing a crime. The insanity defense was first brought into Canadian Legislation in the criminal code, 1892. It was thought that if someone was “incapable of appreciating the nature and quality of the act or omission” (Pilon, 1999) they were not criminally responsible. Although pleading insanity can be a scapegoat, some accused are not criminally responsible. The court has to determine if the defendant is fit for trial, conforms to the definition of insanity and look at treatment options. When someone commits a crime and they have...
