1 Ten-year-olds Do Not Belong in Detention. Why Australia Must Raise the Age of Criminal Responsibility Chris Cunneen , Misha Ketchell (editor), 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: The Conversation , 23 July 2020;

In Australia, children as young as ten can be held criminally responsible for their actions.

This means they can be arrested by police, remanded in custody, convicted by the courts and imprisoned.

Next week, Australia’s state and federal attorneys-general will meet to discuss raising the age of criminal responsibility.

They cannot pass up this critical opportunity to change the way we treat vulnerable and marginalised children.
