Of this number, over 1,467 (81%) were thought to be involved in multiple episodes. Thus, it appears that a large portion of the total suspected population may be experiencing personal or parental problems (or both) sufficiently serious to view the problem as more than just a temporary emotional reaction to a given situation.en-USSuspected runaway, homeless and missing youthFactors contributing to the problemsService needs and service delivery problemsTechnical Report
