How old, or young, do you have to be to be classed as a young offender? Find out here, plus info on ASBOs and getting back on the straight and narrow...
Who are young offenders?
If you're aged 10-17 and have committed an offence, you're a young offender.
Do young offenders go to prison?
It's always a last resort. The main custodial (prison) sentence for 12 to 17-year olds is the Detention and Training Order (DTO), which lasts from four months to two years. It combines time in prison with time in the community under supervision of a youth offending officer.
Each local authority has a youth offending team (YOT) or youth offending service (YOS) who are a team of people who work with children to prevent them offending or re-offending. YOTs supervise children on youth sentences and following their release from youth detention on licence.
And if not prison?
If it's a first court trial and you plead guilty, you could be given a Referral Order, where you have to meet with a panel to agree a contract to repair any harm done and stop you doing it again.
There's also community service, especially if you're 16 or 17. This could be anything from picking up litter to cleaning grafitti off a wall.
And then there's the ASBO, the Anti-Social Behaviour Order...
Anti-Social Behaviour
Do I get a second chance?
If you've been in trouble with the law but want to get back on the straight and narrow, it can be difficult. Being tempted back into crime, not being able to get a job, not having enough money, family problems and staying away from drink and drugs are some of the problems people can face when trying to turn their lives around. But it can be done, and if you do it won't stop you achieving everything you want to when you're older.
