*NIJ Brief Addresses Highlights Research-Based Findings on Youth and Delinquency*

The National Institute of Justice [ [link removed] ] (NIJ) has released "Five Things About Youth and Delinquency, [ [link removed] ]" a brief highlighting the latest data and research-based findings on youth and delinquency for identifying strategies to support positive youth development.

The five findings are:


* Youth risk-taking is part of the normative developmental process that continues into early adulthood.
* Engagement in offending tends to increase through adolescence, and then decline.
* Only a small percentage of youth are arrested for any crime, and even fewer are arrested for violent crime.
* Youth arrests for violent offences have declined from historic highs in the mid-1990s.
* The proportion of all violent crime arrests involving youth is significantly lower than that of other age groups, including young adults.
