The Children's Minister is attributing a reduction in youth reoffending to boot camps, even though they haven't started yet. The Government says serious and persistent young offending has dropped by more than 14% since June 2023. Northland experienced the greatest decrease at 40%. Minister Karen Chhour told Mike Hosking there have been significant developments. She says they've learnt a lot from the military-style academy pilot, which has informed other programmes.

Before Their Crimes: What We're Misunderstanding about Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing by Wendy Smith https://www.amazon.com/Before-Their-Crimes-Misunderstanding-Childhood/dp/B0F8BMPW1Z Wendybsmithphd.net Juvenile crime doesn't just happen-there is always a story behind it. Before Their Crimes: What We're Misunderstanding about Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing is a ground-breaking book that sheds new light on the relationship of childhood trauma and juvenile crime. Wendy Smith uses the framework of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to explain how the toxic stress of early childhood trauma can make children vulnerable to committing criminal acts. Smith draws from interviews with twenty men and women from across the racial and social divide who spent years in prison after committing serious crimes as children. Smith not only reveals the pernicious mechanisms that link early trauma to later crime, but also illuminates the potential for healing among even the most egregious offenders.

Youth crime in D.C. is front and center in Donald Trump's claims that the city is a dangerous hellscape. He's not the first politician to raise the issue: Mayor Muriel Bowser has also pushed for curfews to counter the alleged spike. But is it true? And if so, what kind of policies are the best way to keep kids out of trouble and residents out of danger? We talked to Georgetown University crime expert Eduardo Ferrer.

Perhaps the biggest problem with the military-style academy and the ensuing pilot report is not the number of people who re-offended. Hell, I thought they all would. But rather it was the fact it was, in the minds of too many, predetermined. Those who called them boot camps are in the invidious position of bagging the idea but not having a solution, which is an awfully easy position to be in. Labour and the Greens hate the idea of this sort of thing. It's unkind, it doesn't involve sitting around talking about your feelings a lot, it's not forgiving and it doesn't recognise trauma and your past. That's why crime got as hopelessly out of control as it did in the past handful of years. Their policy was to have fewer people in prison, a lot of judges offering massive discounts, and just an overarching view that, short of the super serious stuff, a bit of smash-and-grab, or biffo, was somewhere between teenage high jinks and loutish behaviour that a good telling off might address. In the meantime, back in the real world, we were completely sick and tired of the Toyota Yaris in the shop windows and layabouts wandering out of Woolworths with legs of lamb and a slab of beer, having not paid. So, back to military academies. Ten of the worst were given a few months with rigorous oversight, hopefully to be let back out and wrapped up with the support of some expert guidance and, fingers crossed, a life changing experience. In many respects the Government were on a hiding to nothing when you take ten of the worst. What have they got to lose? The fact two didn't re-offend, I would have thought is little short of a miracle. Those that did offend, by the way this wasn't widely reported, offended at a lesser level and do not forget the trial is ongoing. The guidance and wraparound mentorship is still in action. There is hope. Criticism around the cost is fair enough. But like most problems, when its been allowed to get progressively worse, whether it's a car, or a paint job, or a kid on the skids, the bill goes up. This most likely won't be a miracle. But it might be a dent. It might, for some, actually work. It might be better than what we have done, which is little to nothing. But you would need an open mind to come to that conclusion.

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.

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.
