The consultation addresses areas such as prevention and early intervention, age and maturity, accountability and cost-effectiveness. It aims to help establish consistent and fair principles for dealing with antisocial behaviour and youth offending.
A further consultation is being conducted simultaneously with the National Centre for Social Research to get the views of children and young people with experience of the youth justice system.

A report on the consultation results is expected in July 2010.
