Peter Gluckman: Former Chief Science Officer says National's boot camps are "unlikely to work" - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

National is receiving minimal support for their youth crime policy, the proposal of boot camps and ankle monitors being called a ‘cliché’ and ‘a joke.’

Former Chief Science Officer Sir Peter Gluckman told Heather du Plessis-Allan that taking young offenders out of environments from which they can return to is unlikely to work, as it hasn’t in the past.

He says any proposed solution needs to be independently assessed, and more transparency is needed on the outcome.
