"Whilst not limited to young people, 'teenagers hanging around' is a big cause of concern to the public as cited in the British Crime Survey."

Unaccompanied under-16s found in zones after 9pm can be held and escorted home, whether badly behaved or not.

Glad I grew up when I did, jeez.

This is Political Correctness gone mad! If a Police Officer can't arbitrarily stop somebody from being in a public place, what can they do?

It's only kids from low income (and probably one parent) families who would get the £12 vouchers a month thing. It's not actually a bad idea in theory because as soon as they're in trouble with police it gets taken away. It is folly though to have a scheme that relies this much on reprobates actually being caught and PROVEN to be the offender.

buy that child a drink (IN TWO YEARS TIME)

Wait on, though... I've never (really) been in trouble with da cops and I don't get 12 quid a month, why should the youngstas? They have to learn respect, not be bought off for it.

For fuck's sake, that's nuts! I went walking all the time across the city in the wee hours of the morning when I was fifteen through downtown and dark residential zones or through the pines just outside the city limits, so this is pretty absurd to me.
