Abstract
Offence specialisation among juvenile offenders in New South Wales is examined by considering a number of questions. These include: do juvenile offenders tend to commit the same type of offence, or consistently switch between offences over the course of their offending careers; and do patterns of juvenile offending remain stable or change over a career?
