The NT Attorney General is correctly identifying the root causes of youth crime - disability, domestic violence, lack of housing, trauma - so why pass legislation that doesn't address these things but instead pushes children into prison?! #ntpol

@ConversationEDU @MenziesResearch We've been here before and seen how these policies fail. The majority of these children have severe health and disability issues that are not addressed.
This is not leadership.

"Evidence-based solutions recognise youth crime is not solely a justice issue: it’s also health and disability issue."

Important article from Nick Fancourt @Fantwit and Olga Havnen as the NT debate changes to youth justice.

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

The NT government has proposed legislative changes to youth justice, including tightening access to bail and diversion, particularly for re-offenders.

@Fantwit explains why these changes could do more harm than good:

The NT's tough-on-crime approach won't reduce youth offending. This is what we know works https://t.co/XaLQdWnhlA via @ConversationEDU
