Inside the Government's plan for boot camps: Will this new iteration actually work?

The Government will introduce legislation later this year to create the Young Serious Offender category and empower Youth Court judges to send them to new boot camps.  It’s all while Oranga Tamariki officials supported the view of experts that boot camps are not effective.  So, why have every other iteration of bootcamps failed – and how might this government make them better?   Today on The Front Page, Herald senior writer Derek Cheng is with us to discuss our tattered history of bootcamps, and what officials have warned the government about them this time round.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
