In August 1965, the Home Office of Great Britain presented Parliament with a White Paper or provisional government proposal implementing its promise to make more effective the means of sustaining the family and of preventing and treating delinquency. The paper deals with "children and young persons in need of care, protection, and control." Two separate sets of proposals are involved: one affecting children below sixteen and the other, those between sixteen and twenty-one. In each, the government has suggested reforms in the judicial structure and procedures. The present responsibilities of the juvenile and adult courts are so be assumed by a combination of family councils, family courts, and young offenders' courts. In addition, major organizational changes have been recommended in the correctional system of remand and observation centers and borstal and approved schools. The proposals in the White Paper are part of a larger series of reforms planned for the family services generally.
