Youth Custody: Government policy comes under fire

Ten years of criminal justice under Labour: An independent audit, from the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies at King's College, London, identifies possible reasons for the Youth Justice Board's failure to meet its target of reducing the number of young people in custody by 10 per cent since 1998.

It highlights the impact of the intensive supervision and surveillance programme (ISSP). Targets for the use of ISSPs have been exceeded, but custody numbers have not fallen.
