Despite rising costs and declining overall youth crime, governments push for tougher penalties, with new laws in Victoria and Queensland extending sentences and eliminating alternatives, even mandating life terms for ten-year-olds in some cases. Experts warn these punitive measures violate global child rights standards, harm vulnerable youth, and fail to reduce crime — while community supervision costs a fraction of incarceration. Testifiers are calling for a nationwide raise in the age of criminal responsibility to 14 or 15, arguing that decades of medieval-style punishment are not only ineffective but devastatingly costly and cruel.
