Juvenile Justice

As an amendment to motion S1M-02205 in the name of Bill Aitken (Juvenile Justice), leave out from “as” to end and insert “has served society and Scotland’s children and families very well and that it will continue to do so in the future, provided that adequate and effective resources are applied to the system to help young people who offend, and calls upon the Scottish Executive to bring forward without further delay the national strategy and framework arising from the youth crime review in order to set out national programmes for effectively working with young people to prevent crime, ensure that measures are in place to support those at risk of offending and recommend proven intervention strategies for offenders.
