Harry Fletcher, representative of probation officers:
The dilemmas facing the criminal justice system are alarming. Following the murder of Etem Celebi, who I knew personally, in east London last November, I had numerous conversations with local police and youth workers. What they told me was that tension between geographical gangs in the area had never been greater, and the number of children for whom the only solution was now control, containment and eventual incarceration was on the increase.
