Charlie Taylor’s Review of the Youth Justice System in England and Wales, was published in December 2016. The Review has 36 recommendations and, in considering the evidence Charlie Taylor stated:  

“…Schools and colleges are crucial in preventing offending. If children are busy during the day, undertaking activity that is meaningful and that will help them to succeed in life, whether it be studying for exams, learning a trade or playing sport or music, they are much less likely to offend. Education and training are also the building blocks on which a life free from crime can be constructed.”
