Vehicle crime

The Bike Theft Index 2005 - detailing the level of theft of different models and ages of motorcycle, scooter and moped - was published on the site this morning (22 Dec). Alongside this publication is a research report investigating the extent of motorcycle theft, which finds that it is older, less powerful motorcycles that tend to be stolen. A third document released this week provides advice on protecting satellite navigation systems - an increasingly popular item for thefts from vehicles.

• Extent of motorcycle theft

Crime statistics

A clutch of reports from the Home Office's Research, Development & Statistics Directorate have given us a range of useful new statistics.

• Minority ethnic groups and crime

• Young people and crime: Findings from the British Crime Survey

Crime and young people

A pair of publications from the USA this month have highlighted aspects of crime and young people, perhaps taking a slightly different approach than that used in the UK. The first deals with teenagers as victims of crime - an often underrepresented group - and the second looks at the influence of peer pressure and co-offending in children and young people's early offences.

• Reaching and serving teen victims: A practical handbook

• Co-offending and patterns of juvenile crime
