Abstract
Barnardos recognises that there is a significant problem of youth crime in Ireland. In
1996, to take just one indicator, over 14,000 referrals were made to the juvenile
diversion programme. This level of young offending can have a lasting impact on
victims, communities, the young offenders themselves and their families. It is clear
therefore that this is a problem which must be dealt with in a planned and well
resourced manner.
