First national study into dealing with offending by young people. This report contains the results of the first comprehensive study to examine all of the services involved in dealing with offending by young people in Scotland. The report looks at how some £240 million is spent and makes 38 recommendations for action. It recommends a sustained programme of action over a number of years, to be led by the Scottish Executive and supported by all of the agencies that deal with children and young adults who offend.
