	Description:		National reckons its reboot of boot camps will be different this time around. The revived policy would mean 15 year olds and older, who commit at least two serious crimes could be sentenced to boot camp for a year. There will be wraparound services when they're out. And National says if its works they could include even younger offenders. But a numbers of studies show bootcamps are ineffective when it comes to lowering reoffending rates and a former chief Science Advisor found scared straight progammes have been shown to increase crime. National's police spokesperson Mark Mitchell talks to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6315768165112
