Liberal Democrats unveil anti crime strategy
Youngsters who commit minor crimes or anti-social behaviour should not face prosecution in courts, under a new Liberal Democrat crime strategy.

It is time for a new approach to youth justice which both prevents crime and confronts young people with their actions if they do break the law."
