The Government of U.K. is amending the legal Aid and Sentencing bill to require a minimum punishment of four months detention and training order for 16 and 17 year old convicted of threatening person by the help of knife. The ministry of Justice says that 60 to 80 beds are required in accommodation of young people. The report of Ministry says that around 200 to 400 more people between 16 to 17 will receive custodial sentence in a year and the total expenses on them is around 2 to 4£ a year.
