Manage episode 425283494 series 2882353
The Government's proposed solution to crack down on youth offending has been met with disapproval from some.
It's introducing a label of Young Serious Offender for 14-to-17-year-olds with multiple offences - and also designing a new military-style academy programme.
Children's Commissioner Dr Claire Achmad says putting a label on young people who commit crimes could impact their future.
"We need to acknowledge that these are children that we are talking about here. And from a children's rights perspective - I have some concerns."
