Community reparation orders

What is the Reparation Order?

The Reparation Order is available for any juvenile (10 to 17 years old) who has been convicted of an offence. It has a two-fold aim:

  • to take into account the feelings and wishes of the victims of crime;
  • to prevent the young offender from committing further offences by confronting them with the consequences of their criminal behaviour, and allowing them to make some amends.
