This assignment gives the advantages of the justice approach and welfare treatment of young suspects and offenders within the United Kingdom.
Applying the full force of the criminal law to children and youths has for some time been held to be questionable. In the United Kingdom, the period of criminal obligation is ten in England and Wales (in Scotland it is eight, inferable from a fairly diverse adolescent equity system). This is strangely low compared to where the rest of Europe are on the list where in Denmark and Scandinavia the period of criminal obligation is fifteen, while in Germany it is fourteen and France it is thirteen.
This has issued many questions over the extent to which children can be considered responsible for their conduct in criminal law – and on the off chance that they are considered to be responsible, then why should incarcerating children be the place to manage their offending?

PYJ looks to normalise offending behaviour by youths and to react through promotional, child-friendly, diversionary and inclusionary mediations (see Case and Haines
