A range of services aiming to reduce crime, protect the public from serious harm and support the welfare of young people by helping them stay out of trouble.
We work with the prevention service to offer early help to children and young people at risk of getting into trouble, and their families.
Young people who offend seriously or repeatedly may be charged to a youth court, and placed under a community supervision order.
Youth courts specialise in dealing with criminal charges against young people.
Custodial sentences are rarely used for North Yorkshire young offenders. 95% of convictions result in community-based supervision or orders.
We respect the needs and rights of victims, and offer them support and information.
The panel deals with offences by young people which may be diverted from court under some circumstances.
Advice and information about the youth justice service.
The youth justice service has expert staff from different services and specialist areas, supported by skilled and committed volunteers.
We operate from four different locations within North Yorkshire.
