A crack down on persistent young offenders.
New Ministry of Justice data shows a 19% increase in children and young people receiving orders or adult sentences in 2024, compared to the previous year.
There's a 16% rise for Māori tamariki and rangatahi.
Blue Light CEO Brendon Crompton told Ryan Bridge these are children who have likely gone through the youth system and have continued to offend.
He says to keep the community safe Youth Aid has no choice but put them in the District Court.
