The detention centre order was inappropriate for a mature 22‑year‑old who held a knife to the victim's throat during a robbery; absent exceptional circumstances the proper punishment is imprisonment, and accordingly the detention order was set aside and two years' imprisonment imposed (the maximum available on appeal from a magistrate).
