"CHILDREN as young as 10 are to be given on-the-spot fines of £30 or £40 for yobbish behaviour under a controversial scheme to be launched next month. The youths will be served with penalty notices for 'nuisance' crimes such as vandalism, harassing neighbours and dropping litter. Police will be able to take fingerprints and DNA before marching the youths home to issue the penalty notices in front of their parents. "
