Shortcut: Does "Adult Crime, Adult Time" Work for Youth Offenders?

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.   Katherine Hayes, CEO of Queensland's Youth Advocacy Centre, offers a frontline view of youth crime shaped by long term work with young offenders.   She explains why Queensland's adult crime, adult time approach has failed, pointing to high reoffending rates and deep systemic issues.   Katherine urges Victoria not to repeat what she calls an evidence free mistake and sheds light on what actually reduces youth crime.   You can learn more about the Youth Advocacy Centre at www.yac.net.au   We're excited to announce the release of Sherele Moody's new podcast, She Matters.
