Pilot scheme for young offenders


A TOUGH new community sentence target­ ing young adult offenders is being piloted in the Ribble Valley, in a bid to steer the law­ breakers away from crime. Intensive Control and Change Programme


(ICCP), is the new scheme which will not only prevent criminals aged 18 to 20 from re-offend- ing soon after being released from prison, but will try to control and change their behaviour by introducing a community penalty. The new sentence will aim to cut re-convic-


tion rate among the target category by at least 10% in Lancashire. A network of organisations including The


Lancashire Youth Association, employment agencies, police, courts and probation officers will join forces to tackle the increasing prob­ lem of crime by young adult offenders, by issu­ ing the penalty. With the help and supervision of the above


agencies, the hard-hitting and demanding community intervention will consist of: @ A rapid arrest if an offender breaks any


conditions ® The introduction of a curfew will be


enforced at evenings and night by electronic


monitoring. © Offenders will be required to attend a pro­


gramme introducing them to education, employment and training services. This pro­ gramme will be made up of 25 hours a week, allowing them to complete 100 hours in total. ® Offenders will also be ordered to pay com­ pensation to a victim for injury, loss or dam­


offenders off the street and will tackle their behaviour and promote rehabilitation. According to statistics, the scheme is specif- ■


age. The penalties will keep the young adult


ically targeted at young adults aged 18 to 20, because they have high rates of conviction fol­ lowing custodial sentences of less than 12 months, and account for 20% of all re-convic­


tions. Speaking on the scheme. Chief Probation . _ ,


Officer for Lancashire, Mr John Crawforth, said: “Short-term prison sentences do not include statutory support or supervision after olease and so cannot fully address an offend­


er’s underlying problems. “The community penalty will not only pun­


ish but will also directly tackle offending behaviour to reduce crime.”


Speed cameras increase crash risks — MP


SPE ED cameras often.cause motorists to brake sharply, increasing the risk of fatal acci­ dents says Ribble Valley's MP. '■ Nigel Evans has stressed his concern over


the increase in the number of speed cameras. " Figures recently released show that whilst


in Lancashire there has been a rise from 206 speed cameras in 2001 to 297 in 2003, the numbers of deaths on the roads have also


increased. “In 2001 there were 74 deaths on the road,


while in 2003, with the extra speed cameras in Lancashire, the numbers of deaths rose to


88." Mr Evans added that other stories, such as


those that the millions of pounds paid by motorists in speeding fines were funding a "gravy train culture" among the police and bureaucrats instead of safety measures, and headlines such as "Speed camera police rake in £5,100 a year extra wages" did nothing to fuel public support for.the speed cameras or


the police. "Cameras must be used in black spots


where deaths have occurred, to encourage people to slow down and to prevent these fatal accidents from happening," he added, saying that the "continuing misuse" of the cameras and the money raised must stop.
