Ms Fiona Wright:

When a previous review was done in 2010, there was a recommendation that the drug treatment court be extended to those under 18 years of age, which was considered, but there is a whole tranche of implications that come with that. It is an area that would need to be looked into a bit more. There is the separation of those under 18 from adult offenders as well. A good piece of work needs to be done around that, which could be considered under the review. Getting them at an earlier age has been considered in previous reviews, however.
