A reprimand is a severe, formal or official reproof. Reprimanding takes in different forms in different legal systems. A reprimand may be a formal legal action issued by a government agency or professional governing board (e.g. medical board, bar council). It may also be an administrative warning issued by an employer or school. == UK == From 1998 until 2013 in the UK, young people aged 10–17 years old could receive a reprimand (provided they had not previously been given a reprimand, a final warning or been found guilty at court). A reprimand was a formal verbal warning given by a police officer to a young person who admitted they are guilty of a 'minor' first offense. The police passed on the details to the local Youth Offending Team of those young people given a reprimand. Sometimes the young person would be referred to the YOT to take part in a voluntary programme to help them address their offending behaviour. Reprimands and final warnings were criminal records (but not convictions) governed by provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.〔Clifford Williams (2011) "The growth and permanency of Criminal Records" in ''The Police Journal'' Vol 84 no. 2 pp. 171–183〕 Reprimands and Final Warnings were a statutory disposal, created by sections 65–66 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to replace cautions for offenders aged 17 and under.〔(Crime and Disorder Act 1998: Details )〕 Guidance on the scheme was available for Police and Youth Offending Teams through joint Home Office/Youth Justice Board guidance published in November 2002. In 2013 the system of cautions for young people was reintroduced, and reprimands and final warnings no longer given. This change was part of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reprimand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
