About this listen

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.
