Tag #Youth Diversion Orders

How does the increase in the budget for Counter-Terrorism Policing and intelligence services relate to the introduction of Youth Diversion Orders?

This initiative responds to a concerning increase in young people involved in online extremism, as highlighted by MI5, which reported that under-18s account for 13 percent of terrorism investigations. The new orders aim for earlier intervention, building upon recommendations to address the evolving profile of terrorist suspects, which increasingly includes vulnerable children.
