A week-long inspection of the Hull Youth Justice Service (YJS) also found 74 per cent of young offenders, aged between 10 and 18 years old and managed by the Hull youth justice system, are "less likely to reoffend" compared with an average of 69 per cent across England and Wales.
The core case inspection, carried out in July this year by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Probation, looked into 62 of the more serious recent cases of youth offending in Hull.
A team of six inspectors examined the case files in detail and interviewed youth justice officers and victims of youth crime about the service.
An extract from the foreword of the subsequent report said: "It was very positive to note the work undertaken in Hull.
"We saw some good individual efforts by staff with children and young people who were difficult to engage, resulting in positive changes.
"The interventions had been designed to reduce the likelihood of reoffending and were of good quality."
