Youth crime: Are there different ways we could be dealing with problem teens?
About this episode
Youth crime has been a hot topic over the last two years, particularly when our youngest offenders are involved in brazen robberies and violent ram raids across the country.
NZ Herald senior crime reporter Anna Leask has been travelling across Australia, witnessing first-hand what groups there have been doing to try and help their troubled youth.
She joins us today on The Front Page to discuss her research and what New Zealand can learn from our closest neighbours.
