Someone who commits a crime between the ages of 18 and 25 should not be treated as an adult by the criminal justice system because their brains are still developing, according to an influential group of MPs.
The Justice Committee says that because their brains are still changing, young adults can be more likely to commit a crime, and need to be treated differently from other offenders.
Victoria discussed the issues with Bob Neil, chair of Parliament's Justice Committee, Max Rutherford of the Barrow Cadbury Trust, Stanley Cave, who was given a suspended sentence aged 22, Suleman Amad, who was sent to prison at the age of 18, and Steve Gillan of the Prison Officers' Association.
