Boot camps proposed to combat Victoria youth crime | 7NEWS
The Victorian Opposition has announced plans to establish a youth offender boot camp at a former prison in Murchison, two hours north of Melbourne, if elected. Young offenders aged 14-17 would follow strict daily routines including farm work, cooking, cleaning and educational programs, with courts deciding placement between boot camps, traditional detention centres or community corrections orders. In New South Wales, the Opposition leader has proposed legislation named after alleged murder victim Luke Manassa that would send bail breachers directly to prison, to combat street crime.
