<p>Young people aged 10 to 14 year olds who are sentenced to custody by virtue of
their age are not placed in Young Offender Institutions (YOIs), YOIs accommodate only
young males who are aged 15-17 years old. Young male or females aged 10 to 14 years
old sentenced to custody will either be placed in a Secure Children’s Home (SCH) or
a Secure Training Centre (STC).</p><p>The table below shows the number of occasions
young people were sentenced to a Youth Rehabilitation Order as a proportion of total
cautions and convictions given to young people aged 10 to 14 from the year ending
March 2010 to the year ending March 2016.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>

Order as a proportion of total cautions and convictions given to young people aged
10 to 14 from the year ending March 2010 to the year ending March 2016</p><p> </p><p>Table

note:</p><p>Young people aged 10 to 14 cannot be placed in Young Offender Institutions
if sentenced to custody and are instead placed in Secure Children's Homes (10 - 14
year olds) or Secure Training Centres (12 - 14 year olds), therefore the proportion
of occasions young offenders aged 10 to 14 sent to a Young Offender Institution is
0%.</p><p> </p><p>The data has been sourced from the Youth Justice Board’s JMIS database
using case level data from Youth Offending Teams.</p><p> </p><p>These figures have
been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording
system are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing and can be subject
to change over time.</p>
