  6. 514 young people had appeared before the courts in relation to the disturbances - 62% had a previous caution or conviction. Of these 514 young people, 182 had been sentenced, with 60 (33%) receiving immediate custody and a further 122 given court convictions. Comparisons by ethnicity (where ethnicity was recorded) show that 41% of those young people brought before the courts were from a white ethnic background compared to 76% of the young people in those areas. Youth Justice Board data up to midday 12/10/2011

  7. The educational background of 386 young people - 66% were classified as having some form of special educational need (SEN) compared to 21% of all pupils in maintained secondary schools. 42% of young people were in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) compared to 16% of all pupils in maintained secondary schools. It also showed that 64% of 10-17 year olds lived in one of the 20% most deprived areas whilst only 3% lived in one of the 20% least deprived areas. Youth Justice Board data up to midday 12/10/2011

  8. The proportion of young people involved in the disturbances varied by area – in London 24% were aged 10 -17 & in Merseyside this proportion was 42%. There were 175 young people who were sentenced at youth courts & the average custodial sentence was 7.8 months Criminal Histories – it is clear that those that took part in the disturbances were more likely to have a previous conviction than the population as a whole. Of the 10-17 males brought before court, 45% had a least one previous conviction. Broad observations

  9. Ethnicity – 41% of young people brought before the courts were from a white ethnic background, 47% from a black or mixed black ethnic background, 6% from an Asian background & 6% from other backgrounds Socio economic factors – Young people appearing before the courts came disproportionately from areas with high levels of deprivation. 36% of young people were identified as having at least one fixed period exclusion from school during 2009/10 Of the 364 10-17 year olds appearing before the courts around half achieved the expected Level 4 in English & Maths assessment Broad observations
