(b) to address the underlying causes of anti-social behaviour by such children by means of youth conduct orders that operate to prohibit or restrict negative behaviours and to promote socially acceptable behaviours through participation in anti-social behaviour programs,
(c) to provide for a coordinated multi-agency approach to the administration of the scheme.
