In this episode of A Matter of Crime podcast, we look at youth crime, and how best to respond to this hot topic of talkback radio around the nation.

However leading criminologist and behavioural scientist Professor Ross Homel from Griffith University has made it his life's work to show there is a more effective response, by looking at the underlying causes of crime.
