Will Victoria's 'toughest ever' bail laws reduce reoffending?

Xanthe and Tim discuss bail and its role in the criminal justice system, and if Victoria's sweeping reforms will help to reduce crime rates, and the risk of letting the status quo continue. They also look at the age of criminal responsibility, and the rise of vigilantism as some communities take matters into their own hands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
