A new initiative in Halton will give residents a say in the punishments that offenders will receive:
The scheme, which is administered through youth offending teams and which applies to offenders aged 10-17-years-old, has been rolled out across the North West by justice secretary Jack Straw.
If the current trials prove successful the scheme will be introduced nationally next year.
The project aims to toughen up punishments for young offenders.
