Abstract
Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) were established, under the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act, to supervise all young people entering the youth justice system. YOTS became operational nationally in 2000 with the YJB being tasked to monitor their performance. This was largely in response to the Audit Commission’s (1996) earlier conclusions that previous youth justice interventions were expensive and ineffective.
