Observation of pulsar glitches remains a powerful tool for studying the interior of neutron stars. Many of the observed glitch properties are shown to result from the evolution of glitches in the different manifestations of neutron stars. Specifically, the type of glitches associated with the Crab and Vela pulsars are explained by this model. We are, also, able to adequately account for the absence, or very low rate, of glitches among the youngest and the very old pulsars.
