Deep Dive: Youth crime is declining across Australia - so why are children as young as 10 being treated like adult criminals in some jurisdictions?

Queensland’s government has just passed new ‘adult crime, adult time’ laws, meaning young offenders will face harsher penalties for serious crimes like rape, arson, and murder.

Despite strong condemnation from the UN, Amnesty International, and other human rights groups, Premier David Crisafulli says he’s delivering on a key election promise and serving his community.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with social justice campaigner Gerry Georgatos, who works closely with young offenders, about the real impact of these laws - and whether we’re punishing trauma instead of addressing it.
