The White Paper Young Offenders deliberately avoids any attempt at establishing a definite philosophical framework within which to develop a rationally based system of custodial measures. Whilst it can be regarded as moving towards a “justice” model in proposing the abolition of borstal training, when taken together with its other provisions there are strong indications of a deeply rooted ambivalence. To advocate greater use of non‐custodial measures whilst at the same time proposing measures apparently designed to ensure an increase in the use of custodial sentences borders on the schizophrenic. In short, whilst some of the proposals are to be welcomed, the total package is likely to prove retrogressive
