<p /> <p> </p><p>Reducing reoffending and better rehabilitation of young offenders
are key priorities for the Government In January 2014 we set out our plans to transform
youth custody and put education at the heart of detention, to equip young people in
custody with the skills, qualifications and self-discipline they need to build a life
free from crime and become productive, hardworking members of the community.</p><p>
</p><p>Statistics on proven re-offending for juvenile offenders are published by the
Ministry of Justice on a quarterly basis in the ‘Proven Re-offending Statistics Quarterly
Bulletin’ at the link below:</p><p> </p><p><em><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proven-reoffending-statistics-quarterly-statistics-july-2011-to-june-2012"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/proven-reoffending-statistics-quarterly-statistics-july-2011-to-june-2012</a></em></p><p>
</p><p>The latest proven re-offending rates[1] for juvenile offenders in England and
Wales who were released from the youth custodial estate, by individual establishment,
can be found in Table 23 of the Proven Re-offending Statistics Quarterly Bulletin,
July 2011 to June 2012.</p><p> </p><p>Different establishments cater for offenders
with different risks and needs, so these figures should not be used to compare re-offending
across establishments.</p><br /><p>[1] A proven re-offence is defined as any offence
committed in a one year follow-up period that leads to a court conviction, caution,
reprimand or warning in the one year follow-up or within a further six month waiting
period to allow the offence to be proven in court</p><p> </p>
