Youth Justice Online is a series of short podcasts covering some topical issues in Criminal Law for young people and their parents.
Welcome to the third podcast in our series: Kingsley Napley’s Youth Justice Online, a series of short podcasts covering some topical issues in criminal law for young people and their parents.
This session will discuss the impact of turning 18 on young people in the criminal justice system, including the effect that Covid-19 induced system delays have had on this process. We will also cover critical questions such as: how does the system treat 17 and 18 year olds differently? Is this distinction fair? Can you be tried as an adult for crimes committed as a minor if you turn 18 before your court date? Find out all of this and more by listening now.
