Youth Justice Board
The Youth Justice Board (YJB) is an organization in the United Kingdom responsible for overseeing the youth justice system. Its main goal is to prevent youth crime and reduce reoffending among young people aged 10 to 17. The YJB works with various agencies, including the police, local authorities, and schools, to ensure that young offenders receive appropriate support and rehabilitation.
The YJB also monitors the performance of youth offending teams and provides guidance on best practices. By focusing on early intervention and support, the YJB aims to help young people make positive choices and reintegrate into society, ultimately promoting safer communities.
