The pressure's on Oranga Tamariki - as it announces it won't release more details around bootcamp reoffending. The Ministry for Children initially confirmed teens in the pilot military-style academy programme had offended again. It's since said releasing information could've been harmful to those involved. Green MP Tamatha Paul says the agency is shifting the goalposts. "That is one of the measures of success for the pilot, so I think it's really important that we do know." Paul claims Oranga Tamariki doesn't want to publish the data because the programme's been a failure. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Frankie Picasso and her guest, Dr. Smith, a renowned expert in child and adolescent development and the author of Before Their Crimes: What We're Misunderstanding About Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing, joins Frankie for an eye-opening conversation about Children who commit heinous crimes and how they arrive at that juncture in their lives. Were they born bad? Are their parents or lack of, at fault? Do we owe our children ( by our I mean society) an apology for letting them down? Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)—the hidden wounds shaping lives and, in some cases, leading to tragic outcomes are real. Bad things happen to a lot of us, but they don't always result in us killing someone. Why them and not us?With 35 years of clinical practice and academic leadership at USC's Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, Dr. Smith unpacks the science and soul behind the choices children make under the weight of toxic stress and trauma.She candidly addresses:✔️ Why some children commit unthinkable acts✔️ How our stress response systems can be permanently altered✔️ The role environment plays in shaping behavior✔️ What true healing from trauma looks like—and how it can beginAnd yes, the Menendez Brothers' recent bid for resentencing is part of the conversation—offering timely context to a national conversation about justice, trauma, and what we owe the youngest among us.

If you listen to parenting experts, you'll hear the same thing time and time again about raising kids properly. They need love, but just as importantly, they need boundaries. They need to be told no, they need to be disciplined, and they need to learn what they can and can't do. And if you don't do that, you basically ruin their chances at success. Now, bear that in mind when you hear people like the Children's Commissioner arguing that kids should be off limit on citizen's arrests. At the moment the Government is proposing a law change to allow retailers, or security guards, or you and I, to hold a shoplifter until the cops can get there and take over. The Children's Commissioner is well-meaning because she just doesn't want kids hurt. These things can go badly, especially if you've got the worst case playing out like we've seen, which when you've got weapons involved with kids turning up with hammers and knives and so on to raid a store. But while she means well, she is wrong. Because a loophole like that will be exploited by adults. Gangs already use kids to commit their ram raids and their thefts because they know that kids get off more lightly than they would. If you make a rule that kids are allowed to escape but adults get held down, you only make it more likely that they send the kids in, thereby making it more likely that kids end up ruining their life. Which brings us back to the very start - kids need boundaries. Not just from parents. But also from the state. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All over the country, there are concerns about rising rates of youth crime. At the same time, advocates are concerned about the rate of incarceration for First Nations people, fearing some communities are being criminalised and over-policed. Advocates say Australia is not on track to meeting Closing the Gap targets on imprisonment - and in fact, things are only getting worse for young offenders. In this episode of the Too Hard Basket, we take a look at recent law and order crackdowns - and their impact on First Nations young people.

In this episode of "Why Is It So?”, I take a look into the alarming surge of youth crime still sweeping across Victoria. With crime rates among young offenders tripling, the government and judiciary's lackluster response comes under scrutiny. As incidents of home invasions, carjackings, and violent street attacks rise, the spotlight is on Premier Jacinta Allen's delayed response and the inadequacies of the current justice system. I'll walk you through real-life examples of violent acts committed by teenagers who repeatedly receive bail, highlighting the flaws in the judiciary system that prioritizes rehabilitation over public safety. Together we'll explore successful crime reduction strategies from New York City, emphasizing the urgent need for a similar approach in Victoria. The episode paints a stark picture of Melbourne's broader decline, from increasing crime rates to deteriorating city conditions, urging action to prevent further degradation. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion on the causes, consequences, and potential solutions for Victoria's pressing crime problem.

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

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.

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.

The prisoners, including Chopper Read, often debated teams from outside the jail, and their families were sometimes allowed in to watch the debates.Learning to debate changed how Tony used his voice. He eventually became yard boss, a conduit between the prisoners and the Superintendent.Some years later he was out of jail and working on a fishing boat called the 'Diana' when he had a pre-dawn epiphany far out at sea.He realised it was finally time for him to break the cycle of crime and incarceration in his own life.Tony worked incredibly hard to unlearn some of his old habits which had previously led him straight back into jail.Today he lives in his own unit with his beloved dog Princess and runs a home maintenance business.This episode of Conversations contains discussion around prison, jail, incarceration, youth detention, youth crime, burglary, break and enter, safe cracking, criminals, inmates, Hobart, Risdon Prison, Tasmania, Queensland, Cairns, Brisbane, police, corrections, debating, inmate reform, prison reform, Chopper Reid, family relationships, fishing, boating, Salvation army, rehabilitation, crime prevention, fishing trawlers, crime and punishment, safecracker, lighthouse, swimming, ocean swimming, The Diana, living alone, relationships.

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.
