I will play the devil’s advocate. What if the youths that committed the crimes just grew up and now appear in the adult’s crime stats?

It still means that fewer young people commit crimes than what used to be the case. It’s not like people stopped having children. And if the youths who used to commit crimes are now adults who commit crimes, they no longer class as youth crimes.
