Stephen Scarlett, an Australian children's court magistrate, finds it increasingly difficult to offer leniency to juveniles who commit crimes when public opinion demands severity. He questions whether young children can intentionally commit crime according to adult standards. In attempting to reform the juvenile justice system, Scarlett has recommended children age 12 and over be held criminally responsible for their actions and has lobbied for properly trained children's magistrates in rural areas.
