Experts and Advocates Say Crisafulli's 'Adult Crime, Adult Time' Unproductive

Monday, July 15, 2024

Youth crime will undoubtedly take centre stage at the 2024 Queensland State Election. At the Liberal/National Party State Conference in July, Opposition Leader David Crisafulli announced that, if elected, he would amend laws so that children could be charged as adults for certain crimes. 4ZZZ Journalist Joshua McIntosh spoke with CEO of the Youth Advocacy Centre, Katherine Hayes and Associate Professor at Queensland University of Technology's School of Justice, Angela Higginson, about the policy and the impacts it might have.
