These indicators measure volumes and patterns across key stages in the youth justice system. They include information about when children and young people that offend enter the system, how they interact with the system, and if they reoffend. Data for the indicators was provided by the New Zealand Police, Oranga Tamariki and the Ministry of Justice.
The Youth Justice Indicators Summary Report contains information on each indicator in the form of an infographic. These infographics summarise data by ethnic group, offence type and Police District.
