Reply to comment by RobsEvilTwin in Queensland’s push to lock up more children by greenthenblue

Ok, but cases like this are extremely rare. Most children who commit crimes can be rehabilitated without putting them in jail. In fact, putting them in jail makes them much less likely to be successfully rehabilitated, because the conditions are so awful.

Agree with 100% of everything you said as a separate, very good, idea. In a decade or so those sorts of reforms should help reduce youth crime.

In the short term no bail for serial violent offenders would have prevented this murder.
