Title: A Statistical Snapshot of Youth at Risk and Youth Offending in Canada

Summary: Juvenile delinquency is a complex, multi-faceted issue. In order to devise effective prevention and intervention strategies for youth at risk, it is important to understand the context in which this behaviour occurs. Of the population of youth in Canada, the majority of them will experience normal transitions to adulthood. However, some will be exposed to adverse factors that negatively impact their psycho-social development, and which may even contribute to offending behaviour. This, in turn, may lead to their involvement with the criminal justice system. This report examines the family structure, income, employment, mental health, victimization, families-at-risk, substance use, and school dropout rates of at-risk youth in Canada. This report also examines the statistics of youth offending, including types of crime and criminal justice system involvement.
