Not sure if this is part of Graham Jones intention, but it seems to be good way of cracking down on juvenile crime (being tough on Law and Order is allways good for a few votes), If 16 year olds are considered to be adults it also follows that they will also be liable to be treated as adults by the Courts and if neccesary serve time in adult jails , and only 15 year olds and younger go in front of the juvenile courts. Sounds a bit Taliban like to me but if it works thats fine
