What’s even the point of having a youth Justice system if every youth just gets tried as an adult?
Hey now! Cut it out!
Let’s not bring any facts to the ‘discussion’!
I will play the devil’s advocate. What if the youths that committed the crimes just grew up and now appear in the adult’s crime stats?
It still means that fewer young people commit crimes than what used to be the case. It’s not like people stopped having children. And if the youths who used to commit crimes are now adults who commit crimes, they no longer class as youth crimes.
… then it wouldn’t be youth crime.
its like the population graphs, they get older but still show up
I am going to be rather annoyed if this is the reason LNP win this coming election in Queensland.

I think it’s unfortunately a given at this point.
And they’ll take credit for “stopping” it once they no longer need to hype it up of course.
It’s quite unlikely that Labor win, but the Katter party bringing abortion to the fore may cause damage to their margin.
