The Advisory Group was established in 1998 under the Chairmanship of Professor Sir Michael Rutter (Institute of Psychiatry, London). The members comprise senior representatives from all agencies involved in the study, including education, police, social work, the children’s reporter, Scottish Prison Service, Procurator Fiscal Service, SCRO, Scottish Executive, Home Office, APEX, schools, together with several academics and practitioners with an interest in research into youth crime. The Advisory Group meets formally once a year, but is regularly kept informed of progress and approached for advice.
