Just wondering is the use of child soldiers (internationally) and the mandatory detention of children / restriction of freedom of assembly (in aus) an eligible issue?

no... it's not criminal if the jurisdiction doesn't have legislation that identifies it as a crime. Child soldiers is more a human rights issue look at UNCROC and mandatory detention of children is the same. Restriction of freedom of assembly is not an eligible issue either but it's a breach to the United Nations Convenant on Civil and Political Rights which Australia signed.

Have a look at the 2005 HSC, Q17, the structured essay. It specifically deals with juvenile justice. In particular, part (c) asks us to compare and contrast gender-specific problems faced by juveniles. Which means that we're basically screwed if we don't have a good background on juvenile justice.

My textbook specifically deals with juvenile justice as the criminal justice issues, but says nnothing gender-specific except for one sentence saying males constitute a higher amount of the prison population. My teacher has told us to pick our own criminal justice issue and research it in-depth. So in 2005, if it wasn't juvenile justice, we would have been stuffed.

What gender-specific points could you put in regarding juvenile justice, and do we need to know about <i>all</i> potential criminal justice issues to this level of depth just in case this happens?

^ AH SHIT.
my textbook has nothing on juvenile justice nor have we even looked at it in class.

I did mandatory sentencing, but I'm worried it's not relevant as much anymore?

Our teacher told us that the BOS ended up not counting it because of the complaints they received.
