This bulletin presents data on first time entrants to the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland for the year 1 April 2013 – 31 March 2014. It aims to provide an overview of the structure of the known offending population in 2013/14, with information on the breakdown of offences committed by new offenders and the disposals received.
