Summary: Young people aged between 15 and 19 years commit three times more offences than any other members of the Australian population.

Compared to adults, young people are also more at risk of a range of problems conducive to offending, including mental health problems, alcohol and other drug use, and peer pressure due to their immaturity and reliance on peer networks.
