Self reported delinquency was examined with a sample of persistent convicted young offenders. Three different strategies of data analysis were used: (i) the number of different offences committed, (ii) the frequency of committal over the previous 12 months, and (iii) the seriousness of these acts. The offences were classified into types to investigate whether the offenders tended to be specialists in one or two types of crimes, or whether they were more diverse in their law breaking. Analyses revealed that the young people were more "diverse" than "specialist" in their offending.
