Rejected petition Ban CBOs that stop young people from making a legitimate income
Criminal Behaviour Orders arrived in 2014 resulting in a rise in arrests and in most cases incarceration for breaches. The alarmingly consequence of the CBO is the imposition of custodial sentences being used for behaviour, that would in ordinary society fall under a persons’ human rights.
More details
CBOs are not working and are unjust for the following reasons:
· CBOs have a high reoffending rate;
· No rehabilitation element to the CBO, only punitive;
· Waste of tax payers money
· Custodial sentences for breaches is a trivial deterrent
· Too subjective in their application and fail to take into account breaching a person’s Human rights
· Disproportionately applied to inner city working class youth who make up a substantial number in custody
