NI 044e - Ethnic composition of offenders on Youth Justice System disposals -Chinese/other

This measures percentage point differences in the proportions of each Black Minority and Ethnic (BME) group of young people on youth justice disposals against the proportions of each BME group in the equivalent local population. BME main groups are classified as those main groups in the 2001 census. The ONS latest mid-year estimated figures used for the local youth population by BME group. It is important to do the analysis by each of the ethnic groups and not the overall BME group, otherwise the under-represented groups counter-balance the over-represented groups – giving the false impression there is no over-representation of particular BME groups. Areas would only need to submit values for the number of offenders in each ethnic group, as the local population data would be sourced from ONS to do the required calculations. Young people are those aged 10-17 years.

本数据集衡量了各黑人及少数民族（BME）群体年轻人在青少年司法处置中所占比例与当地相应人口中各BME群体所占比例之间的百分点差异。BME主要群体被定义为2001年人口普查中的主要群体。本数据集采用国家统计局最新年中估计数据，以BME群体为依据，对当地青少年人口进行统计。对各个种族群体进行分析而非整体BME群体至关重要，否则，代表性不足的群体会抵消代表性过度的群体，从而产生特定BME群体不存在过度代表性的错误印象。地区只需提交各民族犯罪人数的数值，因为当地人口数据将由国家统计局提供，以便进行必要的计算。青少年年龄范围为10至17岁。
