A new study from ADR Scotland reveals that children growing up in poverty are more likely to engage in criminal or anti-social behaviour at an early age. The research, using data from the Growing Up in Scotland study, found that children who offended by age 12, were more likely than other children to live in households experiencing persistent poverty based on relative low income.
This Data Insight presents findings from ADR Scotland research, which suggest that reducing child poverty might prevent early offending. However, a range of other factors would need to be addressed too.
This Data Insight explores whether people who had accessed health services for conditions relating to mental ill health, drug use and alcohol misuse were more likely to receive fixed penalty notices (FPNs) during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is well known that physical activity has a positive effect on mental health, but there is some debate over whether the domain in which individuals take part in physical activity is important. For example, does engaging in active travel to work have the same benefits as walking or cycling in your leisure time? Research shows that cycling to work, when compared to all other modes of commute, reduces the likelihood of experiencing mental ill-health - specifically anxiety and depression.
This Data Insight from Chris Dibben and Laurie Berrie expands on their previous 2022 cycling to work research, by showing a direct link between commuting by bicycle and improved mental health.
