Ministry of Justice figures from 2009 showed that annual arrests of teenage girls and women had reached record levels with more than 250,000 detained by police
Youth Justice Board figures show that the number of personal violent attacks by girls dealt with by youth offending teams rose by 48% from 10,412 in 2003 to 15.413 by 2008. Also show sharp increases in the number of public order offences, up 37% to 5,852 and racially aggrevated crimes, up 113% to 758, committed by girls under 18 over the same period.
A report by the Institute of Criminal Policy Research suggested that the increase was due to women being more willing to commit and admit offences because society had changed it’s expectations avout their behaviour.
