520			_aThis is one of two companion reports addressing problems around the measurement of incidence and prevalence of child abuse and youth offending and re-offending in New Zealand. With this focus, the report is intended to compliment developmental work carried out within the Social Policy Agency, Department of Social Welfare, on how to best measure the outcomes of Care and Protection and Youth Justice within Children and Young Persons Services (CYPS). Issues addressed include: how to define offending; whether incidence or prevalence measures are most appropriate; what data sources are currently available for measuring levels of offending and re-offending; the problems associated with these data sources and how they could be improved; matters for consideration in developing or redeveloping CYPS databases; and recommendations for future approaches to the measurement of offending.
