Podcasts about youth crime

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

The Queensland Attorney-General has instructed the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to appeal against a sentence handed down in the Children’s Court of Queensland on March 13, 2025. In 2023, Chris Sanders was attacked at the Alexandra Hills Shopping Centre by a group of teens. Mr Sanders told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "Fantastic news, I was lost for words this morning when she was talking to me, so I just said to her, thanks very much for doing what you can do." "This judge needs to rethink what he's done, especially to turn around and record. No criminal conviction recorded; tat's been the biggest thing that's crossed my mind," Mr Sanders continued.

A lot of us did some questionable things as teenagers, like drinking alcohol, doing drugs, and shoplifting. We’re likely not proud of these moments, but they happened, and we moved on. For some of us though, this normal adolescent boundary-testing can land us in the juvenile justice system, which is ripe with racism and other injustices. Nate Balis, Director of the Juvenile Justice Strategy Group at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, talks with host Maya Rupert about reframing how we think about youth crime and the need for effective solutions that actually promote community safety. This episode was made possible with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, an organization that develops solutions to build a brighter future for children, youth, families and communities.

The Prime Minister says the argument for stopping bootcamps is ridiculous. Police found two bootcamp teens who'd absconded when they responded to an alleged carjacking in Hamilton over the weekend. One evaded Oranga Tamariki staff at the tangi of another participant who'd died in a crash and fled. Christopher Luxon told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's a defeatist and negative mindset to throw the towel in now. He says they're trying to change the life of even one of the 10 teens, one where they don't go down a path of gang life, violence, jail time, and welfare dependency. Luxon's given his assurance new Cook Strait ferries will be cheaper than previous plans. The Government's expected to announce the future of Interislander's fleet this week, a year after cancelling the previous government's project, citing cost blowouts. Luxon told du Plessis-Allan that despite confirming it wouldn't be $3 billion, he can't give any detail on the looming announcement. He says like a number of initiatives under the last Government, the previous ferry project started at one billion but ballooned to $3.2 billion.

The Prime Minister is standing by the Government's military-style boot camp programme. Under the programme, children are spending three months in a youth justice residence and nine months getting community support under the current pilot programme. A leaked document from Children's Minister Karen Chhour has suggested giving military-style academy providers the power to use force could increase the risk of abuse. But Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking there are psychologists and social workers involved who are looking after the interests of young people. He says they are up at 6:30, in uniform, with a high level of physical training, but they're also writing resumes, thinking about job interviews, and have all the support they need. Luxon says that comparing the programme to abuse in state care is disingenuous. He told Hosking there was no oversight or monitoring decades ago, but they are now focused on care and rehabilitation. He says they have multiple layers of protection, and the checks and balances are there. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While not suggesting Schiraldi should resign, the Mayor of Baltimore and the Baltimore Police Commissioner have voiced concern that arresting some juvenile offenders and then remanding them to the custody of their guardians is not always in the best interest of public safety.
