Youth (In) Justice: Are we locking our children up too young?

Welcome to Youth (In) Justice, where we discuss youth justice in Australia. In our first episode we examine the age of criminal responsibility.

We meet Dr Faith Gordon, the Director of the Interdisciplinary International Youth Justice Network, who shares her thoughts on naming and shaming children charged with crime.

She reviews the case of UK toddler James Bulger's killers, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, who were identified and received global media coverage despite being just 10 years old at the time of offending.
