Queensland's opposition leader, David Crisafulli, has proposed a plan where young criminals committing adult crimes would face adult sentencing, including potential life sentences for murder, to emphasize consequences for their actions. Crisafulli's proposal aims to deter criminal behavior and prioritize victims' rights over offenders'. The plan would treat juveniles convicted of serious crimes as harshly as adult offenders, with a focus on post-release rehabilitation to prevent reoffending. While the LNP's 'adult crime, adult time' policy has garnered support for its tough stance on youth crime, it has faced criticism from social services organizations for being cruel, populist, and potentially ineffective in addressing the root causes of youth offending in Queensland.
