Tories call second-chance scheme for young offenders a 'soft touch'

By John Hirst

ADVERTISEMENTS
Tories call second-chance scheme for young offenders a 'soft touch'

"The extension of a scheme giving young offenders a second chance to avoid prison, revealed by The Herald yesterday, has been decried by Tories as a "soft touch".

The extension of the "structured deferred sentence" scheme to Glasgow and Tayside follows a successful trial in five areas. The approach is aimed at minor offenders with problems such as drug or drink abuse, learning difficulties, or unemployment.

After conviction but before they are sentenced they receive help from social workers and other bodies with the aim of improving their behaviour. When they are sentenced, three or six months later, the extent of their co-operation is taken into account".
