Data First (Ministry of Justice: Data First - GOV.UK) is a pioneering data-linking, research and academic engagement programme led by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and funded by Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK) (Data First: Harnessing the potential of linked administrative data for the justice system - ADR UK). By linking administrative datasets from across the justice system, Data First is maximising the use and impact of data that is already collected when people interact with justice services.
The descriptive analysis presented in this statistical release draws on the Data First’s MoJ-Department for Education data share, which links data from the Police National Computer with educational records from the National Pupil Database. It provides new insights into the education and social care backgrounds of children and young people in England who have been cautioned or sentenced for any offence, with a focus on knife offences, anti-social behaviour (ASB) and acquisitive offences, and violence against women and girls (VAWG) offences.
This publication includes a suite of analytical reports, with accompanying tables, and a standalone executive summary drawing together the key findings. Key demographic, education and social care table breakdowns are also provided at local authority level.
