The Youth Offending Service, Lincolnshire requires people from all backgrounds who can spare up to three hours per fortnight to be a member of a Youth Offender Panel.
Panels meet two or three times per month and can be arranged around work commitments.
Panels are made up of two volunteers from the local community and one member of the Youth Offending Team. They talk to the young person, the parents and the victim of the crime to agree a contract of reparation. The contract might include a letter of apology to the victim, gardening work or cleaning up the community. It will also include activities to prevent further offending, such as getting young people back into school and providing help to reduce alcohol or drug misuse.
The victim is encouraged to attend the meeting, where possible,to tell the young person how the crime affected them. This can be a powerful experience for both victim and offender.
It is the panel's responsibilty to decide the most appropriate course of action, taking into account the young person's offence and the reasons behind it.
Youth Offender Panels are a new way of dealing with young people who commit crime. Being a Panel Member is a challenging, yet rewarding role. If you want to see less crime in your community, this is the perfect opportunity to get involved and you will reap rewards through the experience and personal development.
