I'd say it's the nation with regards to offenders.
00:02
I think one thing that really needs to be put into place
00:04
is the whole idea of rehabilitation.
00:06
Over here, a lot of it is just quite harsh with regards...
00:09
Well, not harsh, but, like, a lot of it is more focused
00:11
with regards to punishment rather than actual, like,
00:12
"Will you do this again? Yes or no?" sort of thing.
00:14
Criminal justice system shouldn't necessarily
00:17
just be about punishing people.
00:19
It's about rehabilitation, looking at the causes behind crime.
00:24
A lot of the money we spend on crime,
00:26
we could look at the causes of crime
00:28
and that way kind of reduce the cost.
00:31
If the money's been used right and, you know,
00:34
on rehabilitation and whatnot, but I'm not quite sure.
00:37
I couldn't really say, to be honest, what's best there.
00:41
I wouldn't be surprised if most people who go into prison are...
00:43
Actually, a lot of them are worse off
00:45
because of the environment they're in.
00:47
But for a way to solve that, I have no idea.
00:49
I think it probably should be taken more case by case
00:52
and a broad generalisation for people who've committed crimes.
00:55
Probably more... Maybe more counselling and things like that,
00:57
I'd imagine.
