When a young person breaks the law, there are different considerations at play. The President of the Children’s Court, Judge Ellen Skinner, aims to help young people who come before the Court to get back on the right track.
Peter sits down with President Skinner in this episode to talk about options available to the Children’s Court to reduce reoffending and motivate good behaviour. They touch on youth justice conferences, unique sentencing options available for children and the Court’s approach to youth justice.
