A proposed demerit point system for young offenders concerns some experts, as public submissions on the bill remain open until February.
The Oranga Tamariki [Youth Justice Demerit Points] Amendment Bill described the demerit system, stating it would "identify, deter, and penalise repeat offending", while also working to "increase accountability and transparency within the youth justice system".
