The report addresses the following questions:

Is youth offending becoming more serious?
Is the decrease in youth offending over the past decade due to Police behaviour or is it a true reduction?
Are reoffending rates for young people higher than for adults?
Do a large proportion of young people involved in youth justice go on to reoffend?
Do care-experienced young people move into the youth justice system?
Researchers used publicly available data, or data that can be freely requested, about the justice system and the young people involved in it as the basis for this analysis. (From the website). Record #6700
