Summary

Around twenty-five percent of all children aged ten to fifteen has been a victim of crime in the past year. Over two million crimes were committed against children under the age of 16 years old. A lot of these crimes took place in or around school. Police Minister Nick Herbert said: "These new figures reinforce our longstanding belief that, to date, crime measures have offered either a partial or confused picture about the level of offending. However you look at these statistics, they reveal what people know only too well - that crime affecting young people is a serious problem which must be tackled” they say they are going to do something about this but it would be hard because children are easier a victim of low level crimes.

My opinion

I think this is something that is going to be really difficult to do something about. Children will always be children they are bound to get into small fights at school all the time. They do not say that the things that are happing around the school are very big crimes. I think the best way to lower these numbers is to have more prevention at school about violence and keep a closer look at playgrounds.
