The Children's Minister says new military academies for youth offenders will be different from bootcamps which have been tried in the past.
Karen Chhour says the Government plans to have a pilot programme operating by mid-year, led by Oranga Tamariki.
Chhour says a group of experts and several community organisations have been brought in to put a well-rounded program together.
"It focuses on rehabilitation and a trauma-informed approach as well, alongside having that military approach."
