Youth Crime Solicitors
Youth Crime Representation
Young offenders aged between 10 and 17 are dealt with as “youth defendants” by the justice system.
Prosecuting youth crime can be a complex process, but getting a representative can help. Having legal representation ensures that youths accused of a crime are given a fair investigation and are prepared for their case with access to legal advice.
Our team are experienced in giving the extra attention and understanding that young people need when facing criminal allegations and charges. We engage with parents, guardians and support workers to establish the individual needs of the client and to ensure the best possible outcomes and limit any future impact a conviction can have.
Youth Cautions
Out-of-court disposal is used by police to deal with low-level offences without the offender going to court. A youth caution is a formal out-of-court disposal which is an alternative to prosecution when the case isn’t in the public interest. It’s a way of quickly dealing with less serious offences in an effective way. For a youth caution to be given, an appropriate adult must be present. The caution will also appear on their criminal record, but it’s seen as a good alternative to prosecution.
When to Contact a Youth Crime Solicitor
It’s best to get a youth crime solicitor as soon as possible. Having a representative before getting charged, especially if the crime is serious, ensures everything is done fairly and can improve the chance of a better outcome.
