The Audit Commission found that not enough progress had been made in implementing ‘Misspent Youth’ its 1996 report on youth justice. The issues identified in the report such as low levels of prosecution, insufficient attention given to prevention of offences and addressing offending behaviour as well as lack of co-ordination between agencies, all   need renewed effort. Agencies need to make substantial changes to meet the standards flowing from the Crime and Disorder Act. 

The Social Exclusion Unit found little evidence of joined-up government services when it looked at the plight of 16-18 years not in education, employment or training. The study found that the 160,000 young people in the age group, or 1 in 11 of the total, had common backgrounds such as poverty, unemployment in the family, truancy or school exclusion. It also found clear links between the group and other problems such as homelessness, offending and serious drug misuse.
