Juvenile first time entrants to the criminal justice system per 100,000 of 10-17 year olds (123) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the rate of entrants to the criminal justice system of juveniles (10 to 17 year olds) receiving their first conviction or youth caution. Children and young people at risk of offending or within the youth justice system often have more unmet health needs than other children.
The first occasion on which offenders received a caution or conviction for offences committed in England and Wales recorded on the Police National Computer by an English or Welsh police force. Where there were multiple offences on the same occasion, the primary offence as recorded on the Police National Computer would be counted. Offenders residing only in England and Wales at the time of their caution or conviction are counted. Offences resulting in Penalty Notices for Disorder are not counted as first offences.
These are estimated figures. Juveniles receiving their first conviction, caution or youth caution have been mapped to individual Local Authorities using the home address or postcode recorded by the police on the Police National Computer. For those with no address recorded, a model based on the patterns of offenders dealt with by police stations has been used to allocate offenders to Local Authorities. Therefore caution must be taken when using these figures.
Offenders prosecuted by authorities other than the police have been excluded from all criminal history analysis in this chapter as the records may not capture the complete criminal history of the offenders. For this reason benefit fraud in particular may be under-represented in this table.
Figures are expressed as a rate per 100,000 young people in the area aged 10-17 based on mid-year population estimates for each age group supplied by the Office for National Statistics. The previous year's estimate has been used for calculating the rate in the subsequent year.
