    The number of children and youths entering the justice system is dropping


    The latest Youth Justice Indicator shows the number of children being dealt with decreased by 22-percent in the 2025 financial year compared to the year prior.

    For young people it decreased nine-percent....this equates to a reduction of just over a thousand..

    About a quarter of young people in the statistics appeared in the Youth Court.
