Part of Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill – in a Public Bill Committee am 4:30 pm ar 23 Hydref 2007.
I take the view that the reparation order in itself can act as a useful tool to prevent further reoffending and to prevent the ratcheting up of offending by the young person. I accept that I have taken a different view with regard to the surveillance requirements. I think that, based on the evidence that we have, we can involve young people in undertaking reparation, without ratcheting up the level of the order that would be proposed for the future.
