This bulletin presents data on first time entrants to the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland for the year 1 April 2011 – 31 March 2012.
It aims to provide an overview of the structure of the known offending population in 2011/12, with information on the breakdown of offences committed by new offenders and the disposals received. Findings for the 2011/12 year will provide a baseline to monitor trends in first time entrants to the justice system in future years.
