JUDGES TOLD NOT TO JAIL THE YOBS

Young thugs should be spared.

Thursday July 2,2009

YOUNG thugs should be spared jail because of their “immaturity”, judges have been told.

New guidelines say that even persistent offenders should not be locked up as their behaviour may simply be down to youthful high spirits.

Judges are also being ordered not to punish youngsters for behaving rudely in court. They might feel they are being “discriminated against” by the justice system, according to the new *government recommendations.

The advice is being sent to all courts by the Sentencing Guidelines Council.

Last night the Tories claimed it would lead to even softer sentences for teenage tearaways.

Premature? Just a tad I reckon. So far this is in the consultation process. Reading the article, you'd have thought it a done deal!
