Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to prescribe certain offences under the Summary Offences Act 1988 with the effect that an investigating official dealing with any such offence must consider whether to deal with the offence under the Young Offenders Act 1997 instead of issuing a penalty notice for the offence. The Young Offenders Act 1997 provides for the issuing of warnings and cautions and for youth justice conferences to be held to deal with offences. The offences prescribed are under section 11C (relating to having custody of a knife in a public place or school) and under section 28F (relating to failing to comply with a reasonable direction of a police officer).
This Regulation is made under the Young Offenders Act 1997, including section

9 (2A) and section 73 (the general regulation-making power).
