Crime committed by young people is a serious issue.
The City and Tower Hamlets Youth Offending Team (YOT) have a
number of schemes available to young residents in the City of
London designed to prevent young people from re-offending. This is
done through addressing the causes of criminal behaviour and
offering help and support. These schemes include:
- Action plan orders
- Preventative services
- Referral orders
- Community rehabilitation orders
- Reparation orders
- Supervision orders
- Parenting orders
Visit Tower Hamlets website for
further details on youth offending schemes in
the borough.

The YOT is comprised of the police, local authority (social

The team works with young people from arrest to sentencing. The
team provides services to the youth court, works with young people
given final warnings from the police and those given community

people entering the criminal justice system.
