Overall crime and proven offending by young people has fallen in recent years. Fewer young people have entered the criminal justice system and as a result fewer people have ended up in custody. To deliver the best value for money for taxpayers we have reduced the number of youth justice places.<\/p>
<\/p>
Young people are placed in establishments that can most effectively manage their individual needs. Factors such as age, suitability of regime, risk of self-harm or to others, all have to be taken into account.<\/p>
<\/p>
Disclosure of specific information about individual offenders may lead to the identification of those offenders and a potential breach of the Data Protection Act. . The table below therefore sets out, in banded categories, the distances from home for young people placed in secure establishments following their transferral from Hassockfield Secure Training Centre;<\/p>
