By the age of 14, the number of male offenders starts to increase more rapidly.
※1 The survey found that 10% of juvenile offenders were responsible for nearly half of
the crimes committed by those in the 12 to 30 age group.
It also found marked differences in the nature of the crimes committed by the
different sexes at different ages.
※2 Girls under 16 were most likely to be involved in criminal damage, shoplifting,
buying stolen goods and fighting, while over the age of 16 they turned to crimes
of fraud and buying stolen goods. ※3 Comparatively high rates of offending by 14 and
15-year- old boys reflected their involvement in fights,
criminal damage and buying stolen goods.
※1はwere responsible for の辺りがよくわかりません。
本当に「~に責任がある」という意味でいいのですか?
※2は be likely to とbe involved in が絡み合ってよく訳せません・・
※3はbyの意味と文全体の主語がよくわかりません。
