§ 86. Brigadier Medlicottasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been drawn to the results which have followed in Liverpool from the appointment of specially chosen members of the police force as juvenile liaison officers; and if he will encourage other areas to adopt this successful experiment in reducing juvenile crime.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeThe working of this scheme in Liverpool over the last three years has been examined. I believe it to be a sound method of coping with incipient juvenile delinquency, and would welcome its adoption in othersuitable areas. I am bringing details of the scheme to the notice of other chief constables, but it must be left to each force to decide whether the local circumstances are suitable for its introduction in that police district.
