There are many factors which lead young people to break the law. Can you think of any of them?
Why do young people break the law?
Activity: Victim or Victimless? Look at the crimes below. Decide on
whether these crimes have a victim or not. Doing a paper round at age 11 Shouting racist abuse Being sold alcohol at a pub aged 16 Breaking into cars Picking a fight Speeding Drink driving Taking drugs
There’s no such thing as a victimless crime! Taking drugs is often seen as a “Victimless
Crime”.
Whilst you have taken the drug it is unlikely that anybody else will be directly affected by your actions.
Potentially there is a victim... you!
Now look at the crimes you labelled as victimless- have you changed your mind now?
In England and Wales, the law says that a child over the age of ten should know the difference between right and wrong, and can therefore be held legally responsible for his or her actions.
This means that a ten year old
child can be convicted of a crime
and face punishment.Discuss in pairs: 1. Do you think this is fair?2. Think back to when you were ten. Were you
aware of the consequences of your actions at this age?
Criminal responsibility
Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs)
ASBOs are extremely serious orders granted by the courts.
They lay down certain conditions to stop the person from causing any further anti social behaviour
Children over the age of 10 can be made the subject of an ASBO.
ASBOs don’t have reporting restrictions. This means that photographs of the offender and details of what they are not allowed to do can be publicised anywhere, such as local newspapers.
If the conditions are breached- young offenders can be sentenced to a young offenders institution
