Justice Secretary David Lammy unveiled plans to cut youth custody by 25%, inspired by his own experiences growing up in Tottenham. The reforms aim to reduce pre-trial detentions, introduce youth intervention courts, and enhance parental accountability. These measures seek to divert children from crime and prevent future offending by offering community sentences and specialized support.
