10Yrs LogoAnnual Youth Justice Convention

26th - 27th November 2008.
Harrogate International Centre

The Annual Youth Justice Convention is the leading policy and networking event for all those committed to tackling youth crime.

Bringing together delegates from youth offending teams, the police, local authorities, YOIs, probation and other key stakeholders this conference will consider key issues addressing youth crime today.

It is ten years since the Crime and Disorder Act introduced significant reforms to the youth justice system in England and Wales . This year's Convention will assess the development of the system over the past decade, and debate the long term challenges and opportunities for practitioners in light of recent changes to the youth justice environment such as the publication of the Home Office's Youth Crime Action Plan, the new sentencing arrangements, Youth Justice: the Scaled Approach, the implementation of Criminal Justice, Simple, Speedy, Summary and local government reforms.
