The Youth Justice Board for England and Wales (YJB) is a non-departmental public body created by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to oversee the youth justice system for England and Wales. It is sponsored by the Ministry of Justice, and its Board members are appointed by the Secretary of State for Justice. It also receives funding from the Home Office and the Department for Education. In November 2011 the government dropped plans, contained in the Public Bodies Bill, to abolish the Youth Justice Board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15861943 )〕 ==Functions== The YJB works to prevent offending, reduce re-offending, protect the public, support victims of crime, and to promote the safety and welfare of children and young people in the Criminal Justice System. The YJB wants an effective youth justice system where children and young people receive support to allow them to lead crime-free lives. The Board works to prevent children and young people under 18 from offending or re-offending. It also aims to ensure custody is safe and secure, and addresses the causes of children's offending behaviour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/youth-justice-board-for-england-and-wales/about )〕 Their duties include: * overseeing youth justice services * identifying and disseminating effective practice across youth justice services * commissioning a 'secure estate' for children and young people sentenced to custody * placing young people remanded or sentenced to custody * advising the Secretary of State for Justice on the operation of, and standards for, the youth justice system * making grants to local authorities or other bodies for the development of plans that support the Board's targets〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/youth-justice-board-for-england-and-wales/about )〕 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「Youth Justice Board」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
