National ignoring evidence against boot camps - lawyer for survivors of state care abuse

From Checkpoint, 5:47 pm on 22 November 2022

National's ignoring the weight of evidence against enforced military-style camps for young offenders.

That's according to a lawyer representing survivors of some of the country's worst cases of abuse in state care.

Amanda Hill says forcing kids into boot camps won't stop them reoffending, and may lead to more situations where they're neglected or maltreated.

Tom Taylor has the report.
