Abstract
There is now convincing evidence that the diversionary efforts of CS are in the region of only 45-50 per cent, and that the sentence is used as an alternative to other non-custodial sentences, and as a disposal in its own right. The author reviews this evidence and argues that the Government should seriously reconsider its proposal to extend CS to sixteen year olds if there is a real commitment to reducing custodial sentences, and to eliminating some of the other unanticipated—and undesirable—consequences of the availability of CS.
