Young People as Offenders

There is some overlap between anti-social behaviour and youth crime. Persistent young offenders can be a problem. Available data reveals:

  • That approximately 25% of crimes committed by young people aged between 14-25 are committed by 3% of this age group 42;

  • Disengaged young men (i.e. those truanting, school excluded, not in stable employment or are without qualifications) are almost twice as likely to be an offender than other young men. Amongst disengaged young women this figure goes up to four times.
