Crime committed by young people is a serious issue.

done through addressing the causes of criminal behaviour and
offering help and support. These schemes include:
- Action plan orders
- Preventative services
- Referral orders
- Community rehabilitation orders
- Reparation orders
- Supervision orders
- Parenting orders
