Section 4(1) of the Training Centres Ordinance requires the court to consider community interest, the offender's character and previous conduct and the circumstances of the offence; on that construction training centre detention is not appropriate for a trivial offence that would not otherwise call for custody, and the magistrate's order was disproportionate and must be set aside and substituted with a fine in the present case.
