Centre for Crime, Law and Justice

This week the UNSW Centre for Criminology Law and Justice has renewed our commitment to raising the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14 years old. As part of a renewed push to the Raise The Age campaign, the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) is inviting organisations and individuals to sign on to the proposed change.

The re-launch on 18 October 2023 was covered by Guardian Australia here. Individuals can also sign up to receive updates and lend visibility to the campaign here.

We look forward to seeing movement on this crucial decarceration strategy.
