The following table shows the number of young people in each youth offending team area have been remanded in custody in each of the six months July-December 2009. Separate figures are given for young people remanded pending and during trial, those committed for sentencing and young people remanded to the care of a local authority with a secure requirement.
The data, which will be placed in the Library, have been supplied by the Youth Justice Board and 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 may be subject to change over time. Differences in counting rules may mean that figures from other databases are not directly comparable.
