Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
Once in a young offender establishment, an elderly senior officer admitted to me that until a speech and language therapist had explained to him how he could deal with young people, he and his colleagues had been damaging them because they had been treating everything as bad behaviour and punishing them accordingly, rather than getting to the root of what was wrong. I believe that that goes to the heart of the administration of young people’s justice.
