Description:

When Queensland woman Emma Lovell was stabbed to death by a teenager in 2022, the community and nation was shocked.

The 17-year-old offender had broken into her family home on Boxing Day with Emma, her husband and two daughters asleep inside.

The crime was a catalyst for a campaign for stricter sentencing for youths and Queensland went on to become the first state to introduce ‘Adult Crime, Adult Time’ laws. 

Today, ABC News Queensland presenter Jessica van Vonderen on why other states could follow suit.
