Raising the Age: Getting Children out of Prison
Julie Williams, Meena Singh, Sophie Trevitt & Dr Nick Fancourt
in partnership with Change the Record
Everyone knows that children do best when they are supported, nurtured and loved. But across Australia, children as young as 10 can be arrested by police, charged with an offence, hauled before a court and locked away in a prison. Raise the Age is a campaign for the federal, state and territory governments to do what’s right and change the laws to raise the age, so children aged 10 to 13 years are not sent to prison.
