Hey people! Leave those kids alone.

This article is about a necessary action that must change the focus of how courts are dictating justice. Nowadays, there are a lot of young kids falling into prison because tiny reasons such us playground fights. This is obviously a non sense practice, not only because the cost of an increasing youth custody, but also about the purpose wich it’s not putting into practice. This is because “many young people leaving custody are still not being provided with the basic support they need for rehabilitation”.

This is the reason because the CSJ (Centre for Social Justice) is calling for a reform. They consider than society should be responsible with the manners of how we are dealing with young infractors, because we are always sweeping the problems away, and no one tries to hold the problem by their causes. This is why the reform contemplates young people paying back victims, financial support for 12,000 troubled families, and new programmes designed to tackle the root causes of reoffending."

What CSJ argues is that lives of child offenders must be treated by all the community. There must be restorative justice schemes, that touches all the society that is engaging with young kids. Such us schools, social care teams, mental health services and families. The last ones should provided an orientation to their child helping and supporting the offenders.

The fact is that the way of dealing with the management justice is failing away. This is why a reform is absolutely necessary, because custody treatment is not an effective youth system. Another way of taking care about young offenders may reduces them in number and consecuences for their grown adult life.
