This report is based on detailed analysis of data collected by the Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime. The Edinburgh Study is a prospective, longitudinal study of criminal offending amongst a large cohort of young people in the Scottish capital. The main aim of the study is to investigate the factors and processes that lead some young people to become involved in serious and persistent criminal offending, with a particular emphasis on gender differences. The study involves a cohort of around 4,300 young people who started secondary school in the city of Edinburgh in the autumn of 1998, when they were aged 12 on average. The design of the study includes six annual sweeps of self-report data collection from cohort members and collection of data from a range of official agencies, including police, social work, the Children’s Reporter and schools. The analysis for this report draws on both self report data and information held by official agencies. Details: Edinburgh, Scotland: School Law, University of Edinburgh, 2007. 55p.
