Young people are often reluctant to admit guilt to the police. Acknowledgement of this has in recent years resulted in the development of the Protection Admission Scheme (PAS) aimed at removing this barrier to diversion. To date, there has been no published review of the police’s implementation of the PAS. This paper begins to address this gap and raises some important issues relating to the operation of the diversionary scheme governed by the YOA and the challenges raised by the legislative requirement for an admission of guilt as part of diversionary eligibility.
