Why does 'youth justice' refer to the article on youth justice in Engand and Wales? Surely a bigger article should be created on youth justice. Dorkules (talk) 10:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good point and I wondered the same. I am happy to work on this if anyone is willing to help. EditorialProject (talk) 15:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the subsection "community sentences" in the "Sentencing" section

In the section mentioned in the title, there is a note stating "This section is obsolete". If that is teh case, then surely that section should be deleted? Thehistorian10 (talk) 11:37, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Age of criminal responsibility

After seeing this edit to the Defense of infancy article (which now contradicts this article), I looked here for more info. A cite in the Age of criminal responsibility subsection here led me to Section 34 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. That section reads

Abolition of rebuttable presumption that a child is doli incapax
The rebuttable presumption of criminal law that a child aged 10 or over is incapable of committing an offence is hereby abolished.

That appears to contradict the info it is cited to support.

I'm not sure that I understand this properly -- perhaps it is not saying that the presumption is abolished but rather that the rebuttable nature of the presumption is abolished. I will leave it to regular editors of this article to sort out what, if anything, needs to be done here. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 07:31, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've tagged both articles {{contradict other}}. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:18, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
