$300k more anually to reform young offenders

Rather than put youth who commit pretty crimes through the criminal prosection wringer, this pogramme sends them for counselling and comnuity service- and so far, fewer than one in 10 who have gone through the course have replased.Now the government will pump in 300k more every year for the rehabilitation of young offenders under the successful Guidance Programme.More than 6,000 have undergone the pogramme for and fewer than 10% re-offend.
