To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of males aged 15, 20 and 30 years have been convicted of at least one indictable offence.

Mr. Jack

Based on information from the offenders' index, a study of a cohort of males born in 1953 has shown that 11 per cent. aged 15, 23 per cent. aged 20, and 33 per cent. aged 30 had received at least one conviction for "standard list" offences, which include all indictable offences.
