youth court A *magistrates' court exercising jurisdiction over crimes committed
by *juvenile offenders and other matters relating to children under 18. It was
formerly called a juvenile court. The court consists of either three lay *magistrates
(at least one of whom should normally be a man and one a woman) or a single
*district judge (magistrates' court) (normally accompanied by a lay magistrate of the
opposite sex). All these magistrates are selected from the youth court panel, whose
members are thought to be specially qualified to deal with juveniles and who have
received additional training for this purpose. The proceedings of the court are not
open to the general public, access being very restricted and determined by the
Children and Young Persons Act 1933,section 42 (as amended) and by the Home
Office and Lord Chancellor's Department Joint Circular on access to youth courts in
June 1998. The press may not publish the identity of any juvenile concerned in the
court's proceedings unless the court or the Home Secretary so orders, although
reporting restrictions are lifted on conviction. Court proceedings are generally more
informal than in the magistrates' court for adult offenders, and hearings can be
heard in locations other than other court buildings, although generally they will be
in existing magistrates' courts. There is a restriction in the timing of a youth court
sitting in that it is not permitted within one hour either side of another court
sitting. The Narey Report (Home Office 1997) recommended that this restriction be
abolished in favour of separate waiting areas for youths and adults accused, to
prevent the mixing of the two types of offender.
