The Independent Commission on Youth Crime and Antisocial Behaviour says it will seek to minimise the harm that children and young people do to the community and themselves.
The Commission has been set up by the charity the Police Foundation and will be chaired by corporate lawyer Anthony Salz. The eleven other members include the former chair of Revenue and Customs, Sir David Varney, the chair of the Association of Youth Offending Team Managers, Mike Thomas and Andrew Webb, Stockport council's director for Children and Young People.
Salz, executive vice-chairman of investment bank N&M Rothschild, said: "We will be looking for better, more sustainable ways of dealing with behaviour issues that affect whole communities, whether they are direct victims of crime and anti-social behaviour - many young people among them - or taxpayers who pick up the bill for our existing, increasingly expensive system."
