    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2(h) of the Bill be amended— (h) by deleting the definition of the term “diversion” and substituting therefor the following new definition- “diversion” means the intervention and programmes designed to divert children from the criminal justice system with the aim of− (a) reducing stigmatization of children in conflict with the law; (b) identifying children at risk and connecting them with appropriate support services in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of the children engaging in antisocial behaviour; (c) providing programmes and support to children who have engaged in offending conduct, prevent them progressing further into the system; and (d) reducing recidivism by children in conflict with the law. Part of the reason for “diversion” is to ensure that we do not have repeated offence by children, and to also divert children from the criminal justice system so that they are not stigmatised and that they do not learn criminal activities and become hardened by being in the justice system. I move."
