Young Offenders, Shooting Poachers and Historic Riots

Nine out of 10 children in Northern Ireland who serve a custodial sentence after breaking the law re-offend within a year of being released. How should society best tackle a problem that is costly to victims but also to the state - it costs over 拢300,000 a year to keep a young person in custody. Former Chief Probationary Officer Breidge Gadd and Eithne Gilligan from VOYPIC - Voice of Young People in Care discuss.
