The Children's Minister is hoping the military-style academies will incentivise Judges to sentence youth offenders. \xa0

The Government's introducing a label for teens aged 14-17 with multiple offences: \u2018Young Serious Offender\u2019. \xa0

It's also looking at establishing a new military style academy - currently in the pilot stage.\xa0

Minister for Children Karen Chhour told Mike Hosking \u201cIt\u2019s still at the discretion of the judge \u2013 but what we can do is send a clear message to the judiciary that the public\u2019s had enough.\u201d\xa0

Chhour said \u201cI have every confidence that this will give these young people some hope for a better future.\u201d\xa0
