Closed Review punishments for young offenders

Closed on

We want the government to review punishments for young offenders and decide whether they should receive harsher or lighter punishments.

If an offender receives a harsh punishment, we are concerned that they could change in a negative way and suffer from depression. We are worried this could lead them to drug abuse or even joining gangs, which would only be negative for other peoples children as well.
