People aged between 15 and 19 committed four times more offences than anyone else.
National crime statistics released today show an increasing number of crimes are being committed by younger offenders.
The latest Australian Institute of Criminology report found a 13 per cent jump in the number of crimes committed by 10- to 14-year-old boys.
People aged between 15 and 19 committed four times more offences than anyone else.
Eighteen and 19-year-olds were caught for public disorder and crimes that caused injuries, while younger boys were mostly responsible for thefts.
The report also found Indigenous juveniles remain disproportionately represented in juvenile detention.
A total of 429 out of 100,000 Indigenous juveniles are in detention compared with 17 out of 100,000 non-Indigenous juveniles.
The statistics also show credit card fraud and cyber crime are taking up an increasing amount of police resources.
Credit and charge card fraud rose by 70 per cent since 2006 despite the general rate of fraud falling 3 per cent a year.
Criminals are getting increasingly sophisticated online as well.
In 2010 there were 29,000 virus and Trojan attacks on websites, an almost four-fold increase on the year before.
In drug-related crime, cannabis accounted for the greatest number of arrests, while cocaine arrests rose 47 per cent.
But overall, the report found most of the major crime categories were dropping.
Homicides, assaults, sexual assaults and robberies are down.
