This online forum explored recent legislative changes to the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility in the Australian Capital Territory (raised to 14 years) and Northern Territory (raised to 12 years then reduced to 10 years). Speakers outlined the policy drivers, legislative changes, and implementation challenges, including their impact on policing, justice systems, and community outcomes. The forum provided practical insights into how these reforms were being operationalised and what this means for policing organisations and their members on the frontline.
This event is available for Australian and New Zealand Police members only.
