As part of my agenda to reshape the justice system, it is important to take a critical look at where we are and what we need to do to further refine and improve our approaches to addressing youth offending.

Today, as Justice Minister, I announced a comprehensive review of the Youth Justice System in Northern Ireland which will be led by John Graham, the Director of the Police Foundation for England and Wales, and will cover all aspects of the Youth Justice System from the age of criminal responsibility through to more effective measures aimed at preventing or addressing offending amongst young people.
