Australia has seen a reduction in the number of children under supervision for criminal activities in the past five years, despite the recent high-profile cases of youth crime in some states.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s (AIHW) latest report, 4,536 young Australians aged 10 and over were under supervision on an average day in 2021-2022, down 18 percent from 5,505 in 2017-2018.
