Orders
When young people first get into trouble, behave anti-socially or commit minor offences, they can usually be dealt with, by the police and local authority, outside of the court system, using a variety of formal and informal measures. This is to stop young people getting drawn into the youth justice system too early, while still offering them the help and support they need to stop offending.
All the out-of-court measures and court sentences you can get in the youth justice system, at every stage are listed below. Click on the links to find out what they involve.
Pre-court measures
- Community Justice Panels (CJPs)
- Out Of Court Disposals (OOCD) including Community Resolutions, Youth Cautions and Youth Conditional Cautions. For more information about how these are dealt with in Sheffield, click on the link at the bottom of this page.
