Brain studies show idiotic youth offending reforms won't work

[Lilith7]

The idea of designating somone a ' young serious offender' seems highly unlikely to help, to put it mildly. And they know very well that bootcamps simply do not work but are clearly more concerned with support from the uninformed than with any possible damage done to those sent to these places - as long as the govt looks 'tough' they don't mind. 

They're prepared to ignore the awkward fact that our brain isn't fully developed until the mid 20's, particularly risk taking & conseqences, as long as it gets them votes..
