Tower Hamlets and City of London Youth Justice Service

The Youth Justice Service (YJS) covers both the borough of Tower Hamlets and the Corporation of the City of London. We are responsible for the prevention of crime and antisocial behaviour by children and young people. We supervise their court orders and out of court disposals, both in the community and in custody.

Our aim is to reduce the level of offending and reoffending by children aged 10 to 18 years old.
