PLEASE READ: Data from the British Crime Survey for 2005/6 - a survey asking 45,000 people about their experience of crime - suggests a 22% rise in robberies to 311,000, its highest level for four years. This is largely driven by a rise in the numbers of young people carrying expensive goods, such as mobile phones and MP3 players.
Nearly half of the victims were under 18. A third of the thieves were aged 14 to 16.
The Out of Your Hands website is about understanding mobile phone crime, and how you can help stop it. Enter to find activities for young people, teachers and youth leaders.
