When compared against the previous year, the first-time entrant rate for the Criminal Justice System for Wolverhampton had shown a 32% reduction in young people and a 14% reduction in the number of offences committed by young people. Key achievements included the data provided by the Wolverhampton Reoffending Live Tracker toolkit, which showed an overall binary reoffending rate of 17%, compared to a regional performance of 35.3% and national performance of 37.9%. The Youth Justice Plan for 2019-2020 also set out priorities and areas of focus for the coming year including the implementation of trauma informed practice, strengthened links with the Early Intervention service and increased participation of YOT young people.
