The Police Association's questioning how much difference the Government's latest crackdown on youth crime will make.
New measures have been announced — including coercing young people to commit crime an aggravating factor in sentencing.
Posting criminal behaviour online will also be considered an aggravating factor in sentencing.
President Chris Cahill told Kate Hawkesby that it's great that there's a focus, but we'll have to wait and see what actually becomes a reality.
He suggests judges will continue to bend over backwards to give as many discounts to offenders as they can.
