NI 044c - Ethnic composition of offenders on Youth Justice System disposals - Black or black british

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.

本数据集衡量了青年司法处置中各少数族裔群体（BME）比例与相应本地人口中各BME群体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。本数据集采用英国国家统计局（ONS）最新年中估计数据，按BME群体划分用于当地青年人口。对每个族裔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与代表性过度的群体相互抵消，从而产生特定BME群体没有过度代表性的错误印象。各区域只需提交每个族裔群体的犯罪人数，因为本地人口数据将由ONS提供，用于进行必要的计算。青年人群指10至17岁的年轻人。
