Description:

This research was carried out by Frontier Youth Trust, Impact (YCW) and Churches Together England. It is based on findings from 165 questionnaires and 3 focus groups and was conducted across England. Our intention was to explore adult perspectives of young people and to look at where those attitudes come from.

One of the main summary findings is that "When adults are thinking of young people as ‘perpetrators’ there is an overestimation relating to levels of anti social and criminal behaviour (in some cases very significantly). However, when thinking about young people as ‘victims’ they are underestimating the extent of young people’s vulnerability."
