When young people first get into trouble, behave anti-socially or commit minor offences, they can be dealt with outside of the court system. If children are behaving anti-socially, the police and local authority can use a variety of pre-court orders including:
- Acceptable Behaviour Contracts
- Anti-Social Behaviour Orders
- Local Child Curfews
- Child Safety Orders
If they have committed a first or second minor offence, a system of Reprimands and Final Warnings can be used by the police.
The purpose of these pre-court orders is to stop young people getting sucked into the Youth Justice System too early, whilst still offering them the help and support they need to stop offending.
