About this listen

Across Australia, and indeed the western world, people are demanding tougher action on youth crime.

Residents in certain communities don’t feel safe.

It’s led to rising rates of youth detention. In some places, governments have even adopted so-called ‘adult crime, adult time’ policies.

My guest on this episode of The Discussion is Anne Hollonds, the National Children's Commissioner at the Australian Human Rights Commission.
