Author: Lyness, D. Title: Northern Ireland Youth Re-offending: Results from the 2008 Cohort Summary: This report presents an analysis of youth (10-17) re-offending in Northern Ireland for those given a diversionary youth conference plan, receiving a non-custodial court order, or discharged from immediate custody in the calendar year 2008. A re-offence is defined as any offence committed in the one-year follow up period proven by a court conviction or by an out-of-court sanction. Some key findings: Using new methodology, which includes out-of-court sanctions (diversionary youth conference plans, restorative cautions or informed warnings) within the re-offence definition for the first time, the overall 2008 one-year re-offending rate was 37.4%; Analysis of the 2008 cohort using pre-2008 methodology (that is, excluding reoffences attracting an out-of-court sanction) shows that the overall youth reoffending rate was 31.7%, very similar to the 2007 rate (32.7%); Looking solely at court ordered disposals across the two years (excluding diversionary youth conference plans from the calculations) the 2008 rate is slightly higher at 40.0% compared with 37.9% in 2007; The 2008 one-year re-offending rate for all youths discharged from custody was 68.3%; Looking collectively at all non-custodial sanctions, the 2008 re-offending rate was 36.0%; The one year re-offending rate for community-based disposals (including suspended custody, combination order, community service order, probation order, attendance centre order, community responsibility order and reparation order) was 53.5%; The court ordered youth conferencing cohort had a one-year re-offending rate of 45.4%; Diversionary youth conference plans had a one year re-offending rate of 29.4%; Of the 507 individuals who re-offended in the 2008 cohort, a fifth (19.5%) were dealt with for their first re-offence by way of a court ordered youth conference. A further fifth (19.1%) were given an out-of-court sanction. Just over a tenth (12.8%) received immediate custody for their first re-offence; Within six months of discharge from custody 63.3% had re-offended on at least one occasion; the equivalent proportion for those on community orders was 41.9% and 32.8% for the court ordered youth conference order; 47.5% of the 2008 cohort were aged 17 or over, and of this group, 34.9% reoffended within one year. However, those aged 15 had the highest re-offending rate at 42.9%; 83.8% of the 2008 cohort were male and of this group, 40.6% went on to re-offend within the year compared with 20.5% of females; and 70.8% of the 2008 cohort had no previous court convictions; and this group had the lowest one year re-offending rate at 30.3%. Almost a tenth (8.8%) of the cohort had nine or more previous court convictions and of this group, just over two thirds (68.9%) re-offended within the one year follow-up period.
