| THE 396 young men and 31 young women locked up in NSW juvenile justice centres are part of our new stolen generation. And thousands more will join them over the next decade unless the system undergoes a drastic overhaul.
That's the verdict of Youth Off the Streets founder Father Chris Riley, who has accused the state government of turning its back on young people who break the law.
NSW is teetering under a 22 per cent rise in violent offences by juveniles over the past decade. Last year 4360 children were charged with assault - almost a quarter of which involved domestic violence - and 4422 were charged with malicious damage to property.
