Post-caution Visits by Juvenile Protection Section<br />
6.9 With effect from 1 November 2008, the respective Juvenile<br />
Protection Section of the Police region in which the cautioned juvenile resides<br />
will, subject to the consent of the offender’s parents or guardian(s), pay regular<br />
home visits to all cautioned juveniles. The visits may last for a maximum of<br />
two years from the date of caution or until the juvenile’s 18th birthday,<br />
whichever is the earlier. The purpose of the visits is to ensure that the juveniles<br />
do not lapse into crime or associate with undesirable characters again.<br />
Community Support Service Scheme<br />
6.10 NGOs run the Community Support Service Scheme on subvention<br />
from the SWD. The scheme aims at helping juveniles cautioned under the PSDS<br />

hence reduce their likelihood of re-offending. The scope of service includes<br />
personal guidance and counselling, socialisation programme, volunteer service,<br />
leadership training, as well as social responsibility and competence enhancement<br />
programmes, etc. If the juvenile is a school drop-out, unemployed or not<br />
