Could the silver bullet for Australia’s youth crime crisis have been under our nose this entire time? One global leader in youth custodial facilities thinks so. David McGuire, the CEO of international not-for-profit organisation the Diagrama Foundation, said a centre his organisation oversees in Spain has slashed the rate of re-offending in youths. McGuire was in Australia touring detention centres in 2018 when riots broke out at Australia’s notorious youth detention centre, Don Dale.
” McGuire says the downfall in Australian centres is that they’re built with only two objectives in mind, — preventing violence and preventing escapees. “If you go to our system centres ... what you will see are young people engaging with adults in their objective, and their objective is rehabilitation. “When you go to Australia in the centres, you will see that the kids are the ones who decide what to do in a way.
